URL: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58326> Summary: canonicalize_file_name returns empty on file names starting with tilde Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: philipnienhuis Submitted on: Thu 07 May 2020 07:14:45 PM CEST Category: Octave Function Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Incorrect Result Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Philip Nienhuis Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 6.0.90 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: Subject says all, but as an example; >> pwd ans = /home/philip >> canonicalize_file_name ('./.bashrc') ans = /home/philip/.bashrc >> canonicalize_file_name ('~/.bashrc') ans = This is also broken on dev Octave. I hit this while debugging pkg.m in order to find out why "pkg local_list <some_file>' didn't work - pkg.m always returns empty when queried afterwards for 'local_list'. The cause turned out to be the call to canonicalize_file-name on L.574 (and for that matter, L.594 but for global_list it shouldn't matter). Would make_absolute_filename be a better alternative? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58326> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
