Trailing slashes in the parent are handled differently from import.meta.resolve

[cjpearson]

When the parent URL is a directory without a trailing slash, the resolve starts at the parent's parent, but import.meta.resolve uses the parent still.

A test script run from the root of this repo shows the behavior

import { pathToFileURL } from 'url'
import { resolve } from 'import-meta-resolve'

const base = pathToFileURL(process.cwd())
const baseWithTrailing = pathToFileURL(process.cwd() + "/")

console.log(import.meta.resolve('c8', base)) // returns ./node_modules/c8
try {
    console.log(resolve('c8', base)) // throws ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND
} catch (e) {
    console.error(e)
}

console.log(import.meta.resolve('c8', baseWithTrailing)) // returns ./node_modules/c8
console.log(resolve('c8', baseWithTrailing)) // returns ./node_modules/c8

My bad, I was missing the --experimental-import-meta-resolve flag.

weird, I didn’t know there is an import.meta.resolve without that flag too

Ah, so, currently: without --experimental-import-meta-resolve, parent is ignored. With the flag, parent is accepted. That was the difference.

FYI: You have to pass a URL to a file: https://github.com/wooorm/import-meta-resolve. So no process.cwd(). resolve works from files!
Specifically, almost always, pass import.meta.url, as shown in the readme!

Ah unfortunately it's not my code, but another package I'm using that depends on import-meta-resolve :( But I appreciate the info!
