On both tests there is a directory 'test' and a file 'test.sql'. Windows: ``` D:\TEMP>sqlite3 test.db SQLite version 3.32.3 2020-06-18 14:00:33 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> .read test Error: cannot open "test" sqlite> .q ``` Linux (WSL): ``` /mnt/d/TEMP$ sqlite3 test.db SQLite version 3.31.1 2020-01-27 19:55:54 Enter ".help" for usage hints. sqlite> .read test sqlite> .q ``` It could be the difference in versions, but it's different.
