   Seems to have happened somewhere between 3.9.0-300.0.dev (works) and 3.9.0-314.0.dev (does not work):

   PS D:\Dev\Google\dart-sdk\sdk\pkg\analysis_server\test\services\refactoring\legacy> & "D:\Tools\Dart\Test (Dev)\3.9.0-300.0.dev\dart-sdk\bin\dart.exe" foo.dart
   test
   PS D:\Dev\Google\dart-sdk\sdk\pkg\analysis_server\test\services\refactoring\legacy> & "D:\Tools\Dart\Test (Dev)\3.9.0-314.0.dev\dart-sdk\bin\dart.exe" foo.dart
   (Dev)/3.9.0-314.0.dev/dart-sdk/bin/dart.exe: Error: Error when reading '(Dev)/3.9.0-314.0.dev/dart-sdk/bin/dart.exe': The system cannot find the path specified.
   

   Commits between those versions are here: 3.9.0-300.0.dev...3.9.0-314.0.dev

   At a quick glance, the only commit that stands out to me is 5399dbf - @a-siva do you think this could be related?

   Note: Running dartvm.exe foo.dart does work (I found dartvm in the CL linked above). So my guess is that it is related to how dart invokes dartvm?

   Thanks for pointing this out Danny, the change https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/439346 should fix this issue.

   @a-siva thanks for the quick fix! I can confirm that the latest bleeding-edge build that includes your change doesn't have this problem.
