Thanks for opening the ticket.

It's another issue with path.join and urls. On windows machines, it doesn't work. There are multiple places in the code where this is an issue when running on windows.

Windows 8.1, Node 0.10.30
I try run this code
var dbox = require('dbox');

var app = dbox.app({ "app_key": "key", "app_secret": "secret" });
var client = app.client({ oauth_token_secret: 'oauth_token_secret', oauth_token: 'oauth_token', uid: 'uid' });
client.account(function(status, reply){
console.log(reply)
});

and see next
c:\Users\Alexander\SkyDrive\Projects\toprovidepr-backup\node_modules\dbox\lib\helpers.js:23
var rx = RegExp("^" + scopePath, "i")

Process finished with exit code 8

When I run this code on linux machine all works good.

Hello guys,

No body managed to fix this issue? any updates? ;)

The fix I did for myself is replacing the "" with "/"... as below in helper.js line 22 to 24

22 var sPath = path.join("/", scope)
23 var scopePath = sPath.replace("", "/")
24 var rx = RegExp("^" + scopePath, "i")

Cheers

replace this in helper.js
var scopePath = path.join("/", scope)
to
var scopePath = path.join("/", scope).replace("\", "/");
