`withSymlinks` doesn't work properly with relative paths on when the symlink is at the top level

Closed this issue · 1 comments

the following code behaves differently when you add .withRelativePaths() and a symlink is at the top level. it looks like it just ignores symlinks completely

const b = await new fdir()
  .withSymlinks()
  .exclude(p => p.includes('.git') || p.includes('node_modules'))
  .crawl(process.cwd())
  .withPromise();

b.map(p => console.log(p));

however it works if you crawl path.join(process.cwd(), '..'). using resolvePaths: false as an argument for withSymlinks doesn't solve the issue either

it works perfectly without .withRelativePaths()

okay, thinking about it it makes sense that withSymlinks doesn't work with relative paths as symlinks can point to anywhere outside the root, as long as useRealPaths is true. if it's false it shouldn't be any hard to process as a relative path
