Directory ../ does not exist.

/project
    /assets
    /sources
        gulpfile.js
        package.json
    index.php

I currently have all of my gulp and npm related files inside a "sources" folder. I am wanting to declare my base directory one layer up

var gulp        = require('gulp'),
    plugins     = require('gulp-load-plugins')(),
    connect     = new plugins.connectPhp(),
    browserSync = require('browser-sync').create();

gulp.task('connect', function() {
    connect.server({ base: '../', port: 8010}, function(){
        browserSync.init({
            proxy: '127.0.0.1:8010',
            notify: false,
            port: 8080
        });
    });
});

I don't receive any errors that kill the process but it does console the following:

Directory ../ does not exist.

I am on Windows 10 and am currently using the following package versions:

"gulp": "*",
"gulp-connect-php": "^1.0.1",

"browser-sync": "^2.18.13"

What's odd is that this same exact setup works perfectly fine on my Mac. I'm not sure why Windows is having problems.

SOLUTION:

I figured it out. To go back a directory you want use "../."

You may close this issue.

Actually, it has me curious. Ill play with it and see if i can figure out why. ... im not sure id expect a user to realize that and if its simple itll be best that people dont bang their heads.
