This is an unexpected error. Please file an issue at http://github.com/dart-lang/test
with the stack trace and instructions for reproducing the error.

This is because the test runner does not natively support globs - it expects valid file paths. Usually, your shell would expand this glob to the list of matching files, so it works out fine.

However in this package, that glob doesn't match any files, and so we end up getting the raw glob. Presumably, on your OS (windows?), a * is not a valid character for a file name, which is the error you are seeing here.

I am not sure if we want to try and deal with that situation specifically or not.

Yes, I'm on Windows.

I've just opened this issue because it says so.
