'twilight' causes ponysay to bail. #240

Closed thePalindrome closed 7 years ago

thePalindrome commented 8 years ago

I currently have ponysay/fortune in my .bashrc, and I was greeted with this gem of a stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/runpy.py", line 170, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)

  File "/usr/bin/ponysay/backend.py", line 210, in __loadFile
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'twilight'

I don't seem to have a "twilight" directory inside /usr/share/ponysay/ponies, and I can't seem to figure out what is really going on!

Any further information you need, just ask!

twilight is a pony (more exactly a ponyfile)... so I ask What command do you run to get that output with Twilight?

Just ponysay

Well by default ponysay without command show the help so I dubt you just used ponysay alone, BUT I can se how you can get twilight as a directory instead of a ponyfile.

try reclone and reinstall ponysay, is possible that during either the build process or during the cloning something went wrong and lead to twilight as a direcotry instead of a proper file.

also ponyfiles are just plain text with an extension wtr.

Ah, I figured it out.

Firstly, the command being used is fortune -c | ponysay

The issue is that it's using the "twilight" directory in my home folder, as opposed to /usr/share/ponysay/ponies/twilight.pony

It works perfectly fine if I cd to another directory.

to summarize: If a directory inside the current directory matches the name of a pony ponysay bails.
