Bunch doesn't follow bunch directory symlink #246

Closed paulroub closed 2 years ago

paulroub commented 2 years ago

I have a dotfiles repo, managed by dotbot, that includes my bunches.

dotbot links my ~/dotfiles/bunches to ~/bunches. 

$ ls -l bunches
lrwxr-xr-x  1 paulroub  staff  32 Aug 15 09:04 bunches -> /Users/paulroub/dotfiles/bunches

$ ls  ~/dotfiles/bunches
release.bunch present.bunch # etc

If I configure bunch to look into ~/dotfiles/bunches, all is well. If I instead point it to ~/bunches, it finds nothing.

Interesting. I can see how this would be beneficial and will look into what might be causing the issue.

The workaround is painfully easy and obvious, of course, so it's far from a high priority concern.

I think I have this working. When I tested it I got a different result: trying to select a symlink/alias in the open dialog immediately resolved to the source folder. So it worked, it was just impossible to actually use a symlink. If I have it NOT resolve the alias, then the contentsOfDirectoryAtURL returns empty. So I decided to just have it resolve the URL in memory before parsing the folder, which seems to be working. Will test a bit more before putting it out.

Sweet. I think the difference may be that I recently reorganized things, and ~/bunches used to be a real folder. I changed it to a symlink without Bunch's knowledge. So even more self-inflicted than I'd realized.

Pushed the change in the beta release this morning. It will make it into the stable release soon unless people run into issues.
