Disable Junit5 tests based on file separator

I want to be able to disable a JUnit5 test based on the file seperator the OS uses.

For example the windows file seperator is \ and a sample path would be src\resources\fou.

On another OS the file seperator could be / (maybe MAC?). I want my test to run only when the file seperator is \.

I found this: @EnabledIfSystemProperty(named = "file.separator", matches = "[/]") so i changed the / to \ to match the windows file seperator, but it didn't work giving me this error: failed to evaluate condition.

Only Windows uses \ as its file separator.

Thus, the following should result in the wanted behaviour.

@Test
@EnabledOnOs(OS.WINDOWS)
void onlyOnWindows() {
    // ...
}

Copied from: https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#writing-tests-conditional-execution-os

That said, you match a single backslash in Java via 4 (four) backslashes. This should also work:

@EnabledIfSystemProperty(named = "file.separator", matches = "\\\\")
