fails to open files with $ in the name

DanielFGray opened this issue · 5 comments

files with $ in them are failing to open, it tries to open a different file without the $word part in the file

eg a file listed as app/routes/user.$name.tsx ends up opening a new file named user..tsx

this makes me think the file name is being expanded by the shell, and the shell is looking for an [environment?] variable $name and then being expanded to an empty string

escape the "$" with "". so "app/routes/user.$name.tsx ". also, please do not use this issue tracker for tech support

How do I, as a user of alpha, escape the $ in a file name listed in the MRU list?

Maybe I wasn't clear that the files are listed and opened by alpha? I don't believe there's any escaping that can be done by the user

oh, I apologize, I misread the issue initially. I get a lot of people opening issues to ask questions unrelated to the plugin, I didn't mean to be dismissive. this is indeed something that should be fixed by the plugin

it's not the shell, it must be some overloading the :e command does. should be an easy fix
