Can't open a local file anymore in v11OpenIssue

Hi, I've been using this library successfully for quite some time to open a local file (the "index.html" file containing a Jest coverage report). Unfortunately, since the update to v11, it no longer works. Is this a breaking change (I haven't been able to find the changelog)? Or is it a bug? I am on Windows 10. Thanks.
