What steps will reproduce the bug?
In Node.js, when parsing a URL with a dotfolder, the result is different compared to not having a dotfolder in the path.
> new URL('file:///foo/.bar/../baz.js').toString()
'file:///foo/.bar/../baz.js'
> new URL('file:///foo/bar/../baz.js').toString()
'file:///foo/baz.js'
As you can see, both paths are identical but the first one has .bar in it while the second just has bar. The result of the call is not normalized.
How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
No
What is the expected behavior?
Both paths should normalize correctly.
What do you see instead?
> new URL('file:///foo/.bar/../baz.js').toString()
'file:///foo/.bar/../baz.js'
> new URL('file:///foo/bar/../baz.js').toString()
'file:///foo/baz.js'
