"nodeTdd.glob" won't work recursive [WINDOWS]

[orgi]

First of all: Thanks for the great plug-in. This will ease my daily work :+1:

Unfortunately when setting the glob to something like:

    "nodeTdd.glob": "{src,spec}/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"

The '**' will only match exactly one folder level. Not more, not less. I would have assumed that it'd find spec files in sub folders as and in the spec and src folders as well.

I am running code on Windows. Is this an expected/known behavior?

Please also check following visualization:

spec
|-- spec1.js // changes here will be ignored
|-- folder
    |---- spec2.js // changes here will trigger new test run
    |---- anotherFolder
          |----------- spec3.js // changes here will be ignored

@orgi I've seen the glob behave slightly differently on Windows. It's part of VS Code and I have no control over it. Also see https://github.com/prashaantt/node-tdd/issues/5#issuecomment-284316273.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that glob patterns are still not working on Windows. Maybe it's an idea to use https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/vscode-api#RelativePattern instead of resolve? I'm not sure if it will fix things...

Update: upon further research, I'm positive that changing: https://github.com/prashaantt/node-tdd/blob/212e7fd6cf1f44fb59adcd29fb53c9060eb32c87/src/TestRunner.ts#L20 into:

const globPath = new RelativePattern(workspace.workspaceFolders[0], NodeTDD.getConfig<string>(config.GLOB))

should do the trick, because path.resolve() will never result in more than one folder on Windows. Also, since the glob pattern uses /, path.posix.resolve() would be needed, but would still give you a single folder.

Thanks for digging this up @kbrandwijk! I don't have ready access to a Windows machine to test this out. Would you mind submitting a PR from a PC that you've tested this on?

@prashaantt Please see the referenced PR. I have tested this on Windows only with a deep tree and the default glob setting, and it works like a charm.
