Hi, This issue is related to how Go's embed package works. On Windows, when you use go:embed, the file paths are normalized to use / as the separator, rather than \, which is the native separator on Windows. For example, given the following directory structure: /testdata/ file1.txt If we embed this directory in a Go program, the paths will be represented as /testdata/file1.txt instead of \testdata\file1.txt on Windows. This is due to Go's behavior with embed paths, which always use / as the path separator, regardless of the operating system. To illustrate this, here's a test case that ensures the paths behave as expected: // main.go package main import (       "embed"       "fmt"       "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"       "io/fs"       "testing" ) //go:embed testdata/* var content embed.FS func TestEmbedPaths(t *testing.T) {       expectedPaths := []string{             "testdata",             "testdata/file1.txt",       }       unexpectedPaths := []string{             "testdata\\file1.txt",       }       // print all files in the "testdata" directory       err := fs.WalkDir(content, "testdata", func(path string, d fs.DirEntry, err error) error {             if err != nil {                   return err             }             // print the path of each file in the "testdata" directory             fmt.Println("Embedded file:", path)             assert.Contains(t, expectedPaths, path, "path %s not found in expected paths", path)             assert.NotContains(t, unexpectedPaths, path, "path %s found in unexpected paths", path)             return nil       })       if err != nil {             t.Fatal(err)       } } === RUN TestEmbedPaths Embedded file: testdata Embedded file: testdata/file1.txt --- PASS: TestEmbedPaths (0.00s) PASS Would it be helpful to add a comment in the code to clarify this behavior, or would you prefer adding a test case to ensure that paths are properly validated across different platforms? I tested on my Windows machine, using filepath.ToSlash to normalize paths to / should be fine.

} return errors.NewCommonEdgeX(errors.KindDatabaseError, message, err) } + +// NormalizePath normalizes file paths to be platform-independent. +func NormalizePath(baseDir, fileName string) string { + return filepath.ToSlash(filepath.Join(baseDir, fileName)) according to the go docs, filepath.Join should use the OS separator. https://pkg.go.dev/path/filepath#Join Windows is \ and Linux is /. If you wrap it with filepath.ToSlash, will it become always /? Could this really solve the issue? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub<#5151 (review)>, or unsubscribe<https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AK2XQMDMPKJJKGWK5PDB25327QI37AVCNFSM6AAAAAB5SGBYZ2VHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43YUDVNRWFEZLROVSXG5CSMV3GSZLXHMZDQNJWGM4TAMRQHE>.
