zoxide can't go to directory named `py_dex`

[rew1nter]

As you can see it works fine when you wanna switch to js by typing z js. For some unknown reason it never memorizes the py_dex directory and always fails to cd with py :/

[ajeetdsouza]

Have you excluded py_dex via the $_ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS environment variable? I don't see any reason why zoxide would ignore a particular directory and work for others.

[rew1nter]

No I haven't added any env vars like that. Just went with the default installation.

Is py_dex a symlink or a regular directory? The file command should give you the information.

Does it work if you manually run zoxide add /path/to/py_dex? Does it show under zoxide query --all -ls?

[rew1nter]

file command:

zoxide add didn't work:

zoxide query --all -ls |grep py_dex: Shows the full path to py_dex

[ajeetdsouza]

To clarify - are you saying it shows up under zoxide query --all -ls but not under zoxide query -ls?

If this is the case, this means Rust is somehow returning false for std::fs::metadata("./py_dex").is_dir().

To clarify - are you saying it shows up under zoxide query --all -ls but not under zoxide query -ls?

No. zoxide query --all -ls and zoxide query -ls both shows the dir py_dex. Yet you can't cd with py .

[ajeetdsouza]

This is quite bizarre. zoxide should handle both directories the same way - I tried creating a directory called py_dex and it's working fine for me.

• Does it show up with zoxide query --all py?
• Does it show up with zoxide query py?
• Can you think of anything unusual about this directory which would cause the behaviour to be different?
