tdnf does not work if PWD is /usr/sgug/bin

[LaurentChardon]

tdnf seems not to work if the current directory is /usr/sgug/bin.

$ cd 
$ echo $PWD
/usr/people/laurent
$ sudo tdnf search tdnf

$ cd /usr/sgug/bin/
$ sudo tdnf search tdnf

I'm in sgugshell and I don't have . in my $PATH. I'm using 0.0.7 beta.

[LaurentChardon]

If someone else can confirm that they see the problem in their install, I'll volunteer to have a look at the source code.

@unxmaal, you might not have been where you thought you were for your test with the quotes, as your prompt indicates that you're in root, presumably /root, and not /usr/sgug/bin. For me, the quotes test did not change the behaviour. Thanks for having tested it. I'll have a look at the source code.

[LaurentChardon]

This behaviour is as designed upstream. If a file exists in the current directory with the package name, tdnf will abort. For example:

[sgugshell root@octane ~]# touch anyName
[sgugshell root@octane ~]# tdnf search anyName
Error(1622) : Invalid argument

Unfortunately it also behaves this way with valid package names:

[sgugshell root@octane ~]# touch gcc
[sgugshell root@octane ~]# tdnf search gcc    
Error(1622) : Invalid argument

I'm not sure what this test for a file or symlink is supposed to protect, as the code has practically no comments at all. I will open a bug report in the tdnf github. This should be fixed upstream.
