Description jsprenkle 2013-08-13 17:31:30 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a project which builds a target of "test.exe"
2. Navigate to the directory where test.exe is built
3. Create a "test" directory

Try to run the project and it fails. It tries to start "test" not "test.exe" as it should. Since this is the name of a directory it fails to start the executable.
