Karthik Nadig (@karthiknadig) and Kartik Raj (@karrtikr), thinking one of you could help here. Is the issue that this file path formatting is not supported and on windows it should be supported? What is the step to fix this here, do I have to pass the paths as different types of evaluate them before sending them to pytest?

Eleanor Boyd (@eleanorjboyd) This might just be a case of using
pathlibto process the path and generate the string that works for unittest. We can talk about this in more detail when you work on this bug.eleanorjboyd commentedon Jul 8, 2025
