Unable to use library directory on Windows #280

On one of my student's Windows machine we find the following:

Bundled gems are installed into `./vendor/bundle` . __ ___ _, ,_ _| , . * ._ _ / ` | (_| [ `(_] (_| | [ ) (_) \__. _|_ v1.3.0 Host OS... windows Located arduino-cli binary...

'' Installing library under test... ✗ This may indicate a problem with your configuration; halting here Failures: 1 ========== Last backend command (if relevant): There is already a library 'Adafruit BusIO' in the library directory (C:\Users\calvo\Documents\Arduino/libraries/Adafruit_BusIO). It may need to be removed manually. 

Here is the directory on Windows:

On my macOS machine we find the following:

Here is the directory on macOS:

So, on Windows it says that the library must be removed (an error), while on macOS it says that the library exists (a warning). When we move the working directory out of C:\Users\calvo\Documents\Arduino/libraries then we no longer get that error. Instead we get the following:

Library conforms to Arduino library specification... 1.0 No tests directory at... C:\Users\calvo\Documents\Arduino/libraries/Adafruit_BusIO/test Environment variable EXPECT_UNITTESTS is... (NilClass) Skipping unit tests... In case that's an error, displaying contents of base directory: 

Interestingly, we are running the same version of Arduino-cli (0.13.0), but his environment thinks that the library conforms to specification 1.0 while mine thinks that the library conforms to specification 1.5.
