Research direction

Start at the path.relative entry point and inspect how Windows backslash-separated paths are handled. Reproduce the reported failure with a backslash-containing path, then add coverage for the corrected relative-path behavior and run the relevant existing tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

On windows, path uses backslash instead of forward slash, it will fail to resolve the relative path if given a path with backslash. A simple fix could be to fix the string passed by user with something such as .replace(/\\/g, "/")
