Symlinking theme folder without full path creates faulty symlink #1744

Closed jonathan-s closed 6 years ago

jonathan-s commented 9 years ago

If you symlink your theme folder like this pelican-themes -s real/path rather than using the full path. Real path will exist because os.path.exists('real/path') returns true, it will then go ahead and create a symlink but the symlink won't lead to anywhere.

Moreover, if you try to remove this link with pelican-themes -c it won't be removed as there are "no broken links".

I was able to replicate this on pelican 3.6.3. @jonathan-s is this something you would like to help us with? PRs are welcome.
