Your fix is more correct and works just fine, making the first test
("Test logs are captured when a test fails.  ") run OK.

* diff that comes bundled with vim64 (gnu diff 2.7) use backslashes "\".
* diff that comes bundled with Cygwin (gnu diff 2.8.7) use forward
slashes "/" (But I think Cygwin should be considered as a separate
platform)
* diff that comes with GnuWin32 (gnu diff 2.8.7 too) use forward slashes "/"

Probably it depends of gnu diff version, or maybe it can be configured
when compiling. I don't know.
