Link stylesheet didn't work

See original GitHub issue

Hi! This plugin is so usefull.

I’m trying to link a external CSS to my email template. Before this step the CSS was in HEAD section and this want a problem. But i want use SASS as pre-processor to make it simpler. So i need a external CSS file. But when i try to include the CSS file, inline-css print this in console:

{ Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND main.css main.css:80
    at errnoException (dns.js:28:10)
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:79:26)
  code: 'ENOTFOUND',
  errno: 'ENOTFOUND',
  syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
  hostname: 'main.css',
  host: 'main.css',
  port: 80,
  response: undefined }

This is the code:

const fs = require('fs');
const inlineCss = require('inline-css');

fs.readFile('entry.html', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
    inlineCss(data, { url: './', removeHtmlSelectors: true }).then(html => {
        fs.writeFile('index.html', html);
    }).catch(function(reason) {
        console.log(reason);
    });
});

And this is the HTML:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <link href="main.css" rel="stylesheet">
    </head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

I have also tried ‘/’, ‘.’.

I can’t understand where is the problem. In the example i link the file in the same way.

Thanks in advance!

Hey @AFerreli I had the same funny issue with the script looking one directory up from where I wanted. This was the solution: url = 'file://'+__dirname + '/' +path.dirname(file)+ '/';

The slash at the end made things work fine for me. It makes sense when you think about how this option is designed for arbitrary href urls, that a trailing slash would be good.

This seems a little odd to have to pass in file:// and __dirname or to have to use path module. In the most basic of setup using a linked stylesheet. Is there a strong use-case for the module not doing this for the user, so that it uses the current directory of the process?
