elm-format

elm-format cannot read a filepath specified.

OS: Windows 7 Shell: cygwin

Show file:

$ cat /1.elm

module Foo.External exposing (..)

import Json.Decode as JD exposing (Decoder)
import Json.Decode.Pipeline as JDP exposing (decode)
import Foo.Types exposing (..)

jobDecoder : Decoder Model
jobDecoder =
    decode Model
        |> JDP.required "id" JD.string

Mounting:

$ mount

C:/workspace/ext/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/workspace/ext/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/workspace/ext/cygwin/tmp on /tmp type ntfs (binary,user)

Problem with this command

$ elm-format /tmp/1.elm
There was a problem reading one or more of the specified input files:

    /tmp/1.elm: File does not exist

Please check the given paths.

It only works when I supply with the machine path:

$ elm-format C:/workspace/ext/cygwin/tmp/1.elm
This will overwrite the following files to use Elm's preferred style:

    C:/workspace/ext/cygwin/tmp/1.elm

This cannot be undone! Make sure to back up these files before proceeding.

Are you sure you want to overwrite these files with formatted versions? (y/n)

I've fixed it locally by replacing this:

" call elm-format on the temporary file
" exceptional handling for cygwin
if has('win32unix') || has('win64unix')
    let l:out = system('elm-format $(cygpath -w ' . l:tmpname . ') --output $(cygpath -w ' . l:tmpname . ')')
else
    let l:out = system('elm-format ' . l:tmpname . ' --output ' . l:tmpname)
endif

@geekyme Thank you very much for this tip! You saved me a lot of headache today!
