            Bug ID: 151156
           Summary: [Win] webkitpy is applying abspath to DOS paths,
                    yielding invalid paths
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Because we are in the process of moving from pure Cygwin to a pure Windows build, some of our Cygwin tools end up calling native Perl and Python. When this happens, the path types received by Cygwin scripts can sometimes be unexpected.

The most obvious example of this failure is:

> run-webkit-tests -1 fast

... yielding the error:

DumpRenderTree was not found at /home/trybot/WebKit/C:/cygwin/home/trybot/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Relese/bin32/DumpRenderTree

This is happening because a DOS style path is being passed through a Cygwin "abspath' command, which prefixes the passed path with the current directories absolute path. This is wrong behavior, and should not be used when running under Cygwin or native Windows.
