It isn't a general problem with junctions, just those created by (certain versions of?) Windows PowerShell. It's a known issue: PowerShell creates incomplete junctions.

I've reverted to a different method to fetch the contents of junctions. The code is bigger, but it should work with incomplete junctions.

Please try the most recent prerelease binary.

Hi, thanks for the fix! I have tested the new binary busybox_pre64 seems to work ok!

Here are my tests, both cmd console and cygwin mintty (git-bash mintty ok too)

In a cyg-mintty terminal I tested last busybox and preview busybox_pre64 has been shimmed as bbp (preview)

In case you wonder a shim is a small exe .exe that looks for .shim and starts whatever progam is pointed to by the path var in the .shim file

besides bb I also have a shim cy for cygwin-bash or cygwin-mksh

% steph@kerangi (/scush) %
% cygpath -ma .
C:/pt/scoop/shims

% steph@kerangi (/scush) %
% cat -evnt bbp.shim
     1  M-oM-;M-?path = C:\pt\scoop\apps2\busybox\busybox_pre64.exe^M$

% steph@kerangi (/scush) %
% ll bbp.exe
-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 steph steph 126464 Oct  9  2020 bbp.exe

% steph@kerangi (/c/pt/scoop/apps2/okular) %
% bb | bb head -n2  # _or_ bb | cy head -n2 ## these "tsack" nicely!
BusyBox v1.36.0-FRP-4716-g31467ddfc (2022-06-09 19:36:25 BST)
(mingw64-gcc 11.2.1-5.fc36; mingw64-crt 9.0.0-3.fc36; glob)

% steph@kerangi (/c/pt/scoop/apps2/okular) %
% bb du -ms current/
391     current/

% steph@kerangi (/c/pt/scoop/apps2/okular) %
% bb du current
4       current

 

these last two tests show that with a junction created by 'cmd /c mklink /J current some-path latest bb works as you said

more tests with cmd console now

C:\pt\scoop\apps>fd -d2 current ammonite | cy cat
ammonite\current

C:\pt\scoop\apps>fd -d2 current ammonite | bb cat & _p

### with older bb

ls: ammonite\current: Invalid argument

Should be fixed in the latest release.
