A common developer bug is where paths like
/Users/idevelop/Dropbox (Personal)/project/*fail to be expanded because the parentheses are present in__dirnameand are interpreted as patterns by fastGlob. Other special characters that throw the globbing off are[]+{}etc.The usual fix I see suggested is to explicitly disable some specific types of patterns, but I think the proper fix is for the absolute path to be properly escaped by the developer before appending the project-folder-specific glob patterns. One hurdle with that is that it's impractical for every dev to write their own escaping function, as they would likely miss some of the special characters.
Would you consider exposing a static function, such as
fastGlob.escapePath(path), which would escape all the characters that fastGlob considers special?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
