Issue Description

Expectation

A valid build/tasks/metadata-function-map.js like in version 4.8.4

// This file is automatically generated using build/tasks/metadata-function-map.js
import abstractroleEvaluate from '../../checks/aria/abstractrole-evaluate.js';
import ariaAllowedAttrEvaluate from '../../checks/aria/aria-allowed-attr-evaluate.js';
....

const metadataFunctionMap = {
  'abstractrole-evaluate': abstractroleEvaluate,
  'accesskeys-after': accesskeysAfter,
....

Actual

build fails with
Running "esbuild:core" (esbuild) task > lib/core/base/metadata-function-map.js:2:11: error: Syntax error "c"

// This file is automatically generated using build/tasks/metadata-function-map.js
import lib\checks\visibility\hiddenContentEvaluate from '../../../lib\checks\visibility\hidden-content-evaluate.js';
import lib\checks\tables\thHasDataCellsEvaluate from '../../../lib\checks\tables\th-has-data-cells-evaluate.js';
....

const metadataFunctionMap = {
  'lib\checks\aria\abstractrole-evaluate': lib\checks\aria\abstractroleEvaluate,
  'lib\checks\aria\aria-allowed-attr-evaluate': lib\checks\aria\ariaAllowedAttrEvaluate,
....

How to Reproduce

Build on windows with

npm run build -- --lang=de

Additional context

i think it is something with an upgraded dependency, because all buits in older versions are still working and I see nothing in the changelog that seems like an cause.

Thanks for the issue. While I work on debugging this could I ask what version of node you're running?

We found the issue. In v4.9.0 we switched from globby to glob. Turns out glob on windows returns the path with double slashes which when passed to path.basename directly wasn't working. We have a fix in progress that will normalize the paths and fix a few other instances where glob returned paths in a format we weren't expecting on windows.
