Full absolute path
Why does the module prepend it's own path to the passed path in readdirSync?
Surely this is an oversight?
I didn't see this documented tbh, but if you look in the code there is an option cwd that can be added to your options {}. i.e. var files = glob.readdirSync(my_path, {cwd: __dirname});
This fixed me up and I believe this mirrors typical glob functionality I've seen elsewhere.
Sidenote: @jonschlinkert your code is really pretty :)
@AlexNodex do you have an example to reproduce the error you're seeing? I'm not able to reproduce it so you might be using a different pattern than me.
If you don't pass in the cwd on the options, then '.' will be used which resolves to the current working directory for me.
It doesn't matter what I pass in, it prefixes the directory with the working directory even if I put the full absolute path in.
it prefixes the directory with the working directory
That's different than:
the module prepend it's own path
I think I see the issue, but it would be helpful to have a code example showing what's happening and possibly a failing unit test showing what's expected.
I noticed the glob.sync() feature which parities readdirSync in the glob package does not behave this way, just fyi
This is why it's confusing, no other module works by prefixing anything!
Why hasn't this been fixed?
@quinton-ashley please clarify your question. Are you asking what the technical hurdles are?
@quinton-ashley why haven't you answered?
@quinton-ashley I'm waiting for a response. Why haven't you answered my question?
@quinton-ashley please explain why you asked your question.
Did I stutter? You marked this as a bug months ago why hasn't it been a priority? Seems like a pretty bad flaw for a project called glob-fs to not be able to access the rest of the filesystem.
Unless you paid for this to be fixed, and you are quite literally owed an explanation, there is never going to be a time when asking this question is acceptable. Even if you had contributed something of value to this project (or any other project) that makes you feel like you have a right to ask such a question, which you haven't, you would still not be entitled to an answer. And if you had paid and asked in such a tone, I wouldn't take you as a client again.
I don't care how much you are frustrated by a bug. If you can't grasp the simple fact that free and open source software is, in fact, free and open source and that I do this on my own spare time and do not owe you anything at all - including an explantation as to how I spend my time, then I don't want you using my software at all. You, and people like you, are a detriment to the field, I have wasted my time responding to you - at the cost of being productive, and I somehow feel diminished knowing that you and I both work in the same industry. Please do not comment on any of my projects again.
You might stutter, but I'll never know about it because I don't want to hear another word from you. You've been blocked.
