RuntimeClassLoader.findApplicationResource() does not handle the path name correctly

[mkouba]

This method is used in getResource() and getResourceAsStream() but it does not convert the path name in any way and so if you use the / separator in the path (as defined in those methods) it fails on windows machines because it simply walks the app directories and resolves the name against them (but system-dependent separator is used).

@stuartwdouglas am I right?

[stuartwdouglas]

yes, but all this is going away soon, so I don't know if it is worth spending time on it at this stage.

[mkouba]

We can keep this issue open and verify/close it once the new CL model is in place...

Hm, on the other hand, it blocks my PR: #5793. So if there is a quick fix I'd vote to fix it now.

@mkouba I created #5835. Would you be able to cherry-pick that one into your Qute extension PR and see if it helps?

[mkouba]

@jaikiran Of course! Let's see how it goes and if the CI is green we can close #5835 and merge it as part of the #5793. Thanks!

This got fixed as part of the recently merged #5793. Closing.
