| 0000521 | Perl for OS/2 | Bug | public | 2012-01-19 11:53 | 2020-08-31 10:00 |
| Reporter | shmuel | Assigned To | psmedley | ||
| Priority | normal | Severity | minor | Reproducibility | always |
| Status | closed | Resolution | fixed | ||
| Platform | AMD dual core | OS | eComStation | OS Version | 2.0 GA |
| Summary | 0000521: File::Spec->rel2abs gets current working dfirectory for wrong drive | ||||
| Description | If a file specifies a drvie and a relative path, File::Spec->rel2abs appends the current directory for the current drive instead of for the specified drive. This was fixed for win32 but not for OS/2. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Revise the code below to reflect the drive that you will be running it from. Change the working directory for that drive, and make a different drive current. Change the working directory for the current drive to any directory that doesn't have the same name as the program directory. use File::Spec; print "\nFile::Spec->rel2abs(testpl.cmd) = ", File::Spec->rel2abs('H:testpl.cmd'); | ||||
| Additional Information | Needs OS/2 code similar to the win32 code in cwd.pm, cwd.xs and File\Spec\OS2.pm to call DosQueryCurrentDir. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I've made some changes to try and make OS/2 behave like win32. Bear in mind I know NOTHING about perl syntax - can you provide me a simple testcase to test the code? Sorry but I don't understand what the above code is supposed to output |
|
|
use File::Spec; print "\nFile::Spec->rel2abs(H:testpl.cmd) = ", File::Spec->rel2abs('H:testpl.cmd'); should display the complete path for test.pl in the current working directoy of H:. To set it, change the code to specify a drive that exists on your system, set a working directory on that drive, change to a different drive and set a different directory on that drive. The current File::Spec->rel2abs allegedly works correctly in windoze, displaying the path with the current working directory for the specified drive, but in OS/2 it uses the current directory for the current drive. |

I think this is fixed in my latest build: perl is in u:\perl5 telrel2abs.pl is run from e:\downloads & the output is: [E:\downloads]perl testrel2abs.pl File::Spec->rel2abs(F:testpl.cmd) = E:/downloads/testpl.cmd |

New test build is at http://smedley.id.au/perl-5.14.2-os2-20120126.zip |

I didn't read your report fully, seems it is NOT fixed |
|
|
See <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75319>; I'm considering trying to work up a fix but I'm not comfortable with XS. |
|
|
I wonder if this is related to http://svn.netlabs.org/libc/ticket/237#comment:8 |
|
|
No, the problem is definitely in the Perl code for PathTools. I haven't gotten any feedback in <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75319>, so I'll probably hack a fix and see if they accept it. |

|
This should be fixed in latest Perl/2 builds |
