Can not read input file in /tmp #4233

Closed jasonparallel closed 2 months ago

jasonparallel commented 2 months ago

Current Behavior

On OSX tesseract /tmp/Image-1.png output yields Leptonica Error in findFileFormat: image file not found: /tmp/Image-1.png While tesseract /private/tmp/Image-1.png output Works without issue

/tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp

Expected Behavior

Symlink paths to be read

That's a known issue caused by the special handling of /tmp in Leptonica. It also happens when that is a directory, so it does not depend on symbolic links.

stweil commented 2 months ago

Workaround: use //tmp (or /Tmp on macOS which is case insensitive) instead of /tmp. That circumvents the special handling.

We can't do anything about it.
