Description
I found this accidently when trying to wrote a dotfile linker utility.
Seems like FileUtils.ln_s will fail when the resulting relative path contains ../ (one directory hierarchy higher) as the relative path being generated is mangled.
Sample snippets to reproduce:
FileUtils.ln_s(
"/home/mipan/.dotfiles/zsh", "/home/mipan/.config/zsh",
verbose: true, noop: true, relative: true
)
Output: ln -s /home/mipan/.config/zsh/zsh
And this is not a pure logging bug, when the noop set to false:
FileUtils.ln_s(
"/home/mipan/.dotfiles/zsh", "/home/mipan/.config/zsh",
verbose: true, noop: false, relative: true
)
ln -s /home/mipan/.config/zsh/zsh
/usr/lib/ruby/3.4.0/fileutils.rb:760:in 'File.symlink': No such file or directory @ rb_file_s_symlink - (, /home/mipan/.config/zsh/zsh) (Errno::ENOENT)
from /usr/lib/ruby/3.4.0/fileutils.rb:760:in 'block in FileUtils.ln_sr'
from /usr/lib/ruby/3.4.0/fileutils.rb:765:in 'FileUtils.ln_sr'
from /usr/lib/ruby/3.4.0/fileutils.rb:709:in 'FileUtils.ln_s'
from ./dot_linker.rb:362:in '<main>'
Sample for working parameters:
FileUtils.ln_s(
"/home/mipan/.dotfiles/zsh", "/home/mipan/zsh",
verbose: true, noop: true, relative: true
)
Output: ln -s .dotfiles/zsh /home/mipan/zsh
