support symlink() being supported, but failing #103

Closed tonycoz closed 4 years ago

tonycoz commented 4 years ago

This test broke because symlink() (as documented) failed returning false, which the test ignored.

symlink() (coming soon!) on Win32 requires either elevated permissions or a sufficiently recent version of Windows 10 with Developer Mode enabled, which will make this more likely to fail.

This could also happen on POSIX-like systems where the current filesystem doesn't support symlinks.
