Reportgenerator: Unable to Fetch Remote Source on Windows

[wsugarman]

I am using Coverlet + SourceLink to generate cobertura code coverage reports for my .NET Standard project. The XML files are generated fine. They have classes like the following:

<class name="Foo.Bar" filename="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wsugarman/Example/123456789ABCDEF/src/Example.Project/Foo/Bar.cs" ...>
    <!-- Code Coverage -->
</class>

However, when I go to generate my report with a command such as:

reportgenerator --reports:coverage.cobertura.xml -targetdir:reports -reporttypes:"Cobertura"

I see the below error:

File 'https:\\raw.githubusercontent.com\wsugarman\Example\123456789ABCDEF\src\Example.Project\Foo\Bar.cs' does not exist (any more).

It seems that all of the forward-slashes are converted to backslashes inappropriately, and the URL cannot be found! I took a look into the code to see what could be the problem, and I saw that in the CoberturaReportPreprocessor, the filename attributes have their slashes normalized to Path.DirectorySeparatorChar. This prevents CachingFileReader from detecting that the file is remote.

Am I perhaps missing something when using SourceLink? Otherwise, I'd be happy to try my hand at a fix.

Correct. The preprocessor should ignore files that start with "http://" or "https://".
If you like, you can create a PR.

New release 4.4.2 will fix this issue (should be available within a few minutes).

Oh! That’s great news! You beat me to it haha. I’ll give the new version a shot.

Looks like it's all good. Thank you for fixing it so quickly!
