>Not sure how to fix exactly, but one reason why some of the integration tests are failing on Windows is that the integration tests set idp.home to a value returned by Path.toString(). The file separator there is platform specific, but in our case for SWF idp.home just must have forward slashes. The app ctx initializer does the rewrite of \ to /, but if idp.home is set manually then that replacement is not done.

Which allows us to avoid building in complex rules and just say to the deployer (in this case us) "just don't set it to a broken value".

I think that's better than a hopeless attempt to prevent errors, which are basically infinite.
