Folder Alias not properly supported on macOS

[canoben]

CDing to an alias file in macOS correctly changes the current directory to the folder pointed to by the alias file.

zoxide only sees a file and emits an error.

What is an alias file - do you mean a symbolic link? What error is zoxide emitting?

What is an alias file - do you mean a symbolic link? What error is zoxide emitting?

Can you answer this?

[canoben]

Yes, it's like a symbolic link. zoxide simply emits a "zoxide: no match found" message. `╭─ ~/desktop/test ────────────────────────────22:40:20 ╰─ ls -al rwxr-xr-x 5 user1 wheel 160 B Fri Jan 3 22:39:41 2025 ./ rwx------ 8 user1 staff 256 B Fri Jan 3 22:40:13 2025 ../ rw-r--r-- 1 user1 wheel 6 KiB Fri Jan 3 22:40:13 2025 .DS_Store rw-r--r-- 1 user1 wheel 872 B Fri Feb 26 18:41:01 2021 Ranger rw-r--r-- 1 user1 staff 4 B Fri Jan 3 22:39:39 2025 test.txt

What do you mean by "like a symbolic link"? How have you created it?

[canoben]

By using the macOS Finder command "Create Alias".
