cy.task() fails when spec file name contains "em dash"

[maximilianschmid]

Current behavior

When running this test code in a .spec file called task.spec.js the test works.

If it is run in a spec file with a em dash in it, eg. ta—sk.spec.js the test fails.

Desired behavior

Test should also work in a spec file which contains a em dash (—) in the file name.

Test code to reproduce

// add testTask in cypress/plugins/index.js

// module.exports = (on, config) => {
//   on('testTask', {
//     test: () => Promise.resolve(true),
//   })
//
//   return config
// }

describe('test', () => {
  it('test', () => {
    cy.task('testTask')
  })
})
