file.Exists * operator broken after the recent update #5705

Closed RavMda closed 8 months ago

RavMda commented 8 months ago

Details

The server is running x64 branch of gmod After the recent update, the * stopped working in file.Exists

Here's an example:

print(file.Exists("bin/gmsv_mysqloo_*.dll", "LUA"))
false
print(file.Exists("lua/bin/gmsv_mysqloo_*.dll", "GAME"))
false
print(file.Exists("lua/bin/gmsv_mysqloo_linux64.dll", "GAME"))
true

It was an unintentional side effect and was removed to improve performance.

Please use: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/util.IsBinaryModuleInstalled (It is available in every GMod branch) It is also saver to use. Using the wildcard method would also detect module files as installed, even if they are for the wrong OS or architecture. E.g. a win32 file on linux64 server, etc.

It was not intentional since it only worked for LUA path.
