check_file_context broken when path has parenthesis

[eboswort]

I've been having issues running pry-nav commands. When I try to do so I see "Error: Cannot find local context. Did you use binding.pry?" errors.

In debugging the issue I noticed in pry_ext.rb, start_with_pry_nav is calling start_without_pry_nav due to PryNav.check_file_context(target) returning false.

I'm pretty sure I tracked down the issue, which is that I'm working inside a folder at a path that looks like this: "/Users/eli/Dropbox (Personal)/some_project/some_file.rb"

It looks like the regex in check_file_context is matching the parenthesis in the middle of that path.

If I move my project to "/Users/eli/Desktop/some_project", then everything works as expected.

I think the fix is to add a '^' and a '$' to the regex. Something like this: file == Pry.evalpath || (file !~ /^((.))$|^<._>$/ && file != '' && file != '-e')

I would have done a pull request but I don't completely understand the intentions of check_file_context so I'm hoping someone closer to the project could let me know if this suggestion makes sense.

Thanks, Eli

This issue is very old, and I've never run into this. Closing this out.
