Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I want to check if a directory is available or not using its pathname before I cd into it.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

[ ] Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be helpful if there were a built-in function to do this. Or a code snippets.

Additional context

No response

Validations

[X] I have searched the existing issues/discussions
[X] The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature

There is fs.cha() function you can use to check if the file exists, see https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/utils#fs.cha

Closing as already exists

sohanemon commented 1 month ago

Could you please help me identify why this code is not working? I would like to know if there are any syntax errors present.

return {
    entry = function(self, args)
        for _, path in ipairs(args) do
            local cha, err = fs.cha(path, true)
            if cha ~= nil then
                ya.manager_emit("cd", { path })
                return
            end
        end
    end,
}

And the corresponding keymap configuration:

  { on = [
    "g",
    "u",
  ], run = "plugin cdx --args='$CWD/components/ui $CWD/components'", desc = "Go UI Components" },

Objective: I am attempting to use a plugin to provide a list of path names. If a path exists, the program should cd into that path and then exit the loop. If the path does not exist, it should continue to the next path in the list.

Could you please review this and suggest any corrections? Thank you.

fs.cha() needs a Url, not a string path, https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/types#shared.url.

Also make sure you have a directory with the name $CWD, otherwise you may need to replace it to a actual name
