Yii::getPathOfAlias should work with directories that have a 'dot' #4058

Closed pohnean closed 8 years ago

Currently the Yii::getPathOfAlias function will simply translate any dots to DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.

As a result, the path for folders with dot as a name is not translated correctly. Example: Yii::getPathOfAlias('node_modules.typeahead.js') becomes:

/node_modules/typeahead/js Proposed solution: Allow dots in aliases by escaping them: Yii::getPathOfAlias('node_modules.typeahead\.js')

the problem is fixed in yii2, so we are not going to so anything about it in yii1 as it would break BC. Sorry.

Imagine that you need to publish an asset from a directory called "jquery.complexify" in "your_app/node_modules/" There goes an example:

$baseUrl = Yii::app()->getAssetManager()->publish(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot.node_modules') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'jquery.complexify');
$cs = Yii::app()->getClientScript();
$cs->registerScriptFile($baseUrl . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'jquery.complexify.js');
