Summary

Handle EISDIR errors in robustRealpath to improve robustness on Windows. Added a corresponding test case to verify the fix.

Details

On Windows, fs.realpathSync can sometimes throw EISDIR instead of ENOENT for certain paths (e.g., when a path component is invalid but looks like a directory, or for certain reserved names). This PR ensures robustRealpath handles EISDIR similarly to ENOENT by attempting to resolve through parent directories.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the robustRealpath utility function to improve its reliability on Windows systems. By explicitly accounting for EISDIR errors, which can occur under specific conditions with fs.realpathSync, the change ensures that path resolution remains consistent and robust, preventing unexpected failures when dealing with certain directory structures or reserved names.

Highlights

  • Enhanced Error Handling: The robustRealpath function now explicitly handles EISDIR errors on Windows, treating them similarly to ENOENT errors to improve path resolution robustness.
  • New Test Case: A dedicated test case was added to verify that robustRealpath correctly processes paths even when fs.realpathSync throws an EISDIR error.
Changelog
  • packages/core/src/utils/paths.test.ts
    • Added a new test case to simulate EISDIR errors from fs.realpathSync and verify robustRealpath's behavior.
  • packages/core/src/utils/paths.ts
    • Modified robustRealpath to include EISDIR in the error codes handled alongside ENOENT when fs.realpathSync fails.
    • Updated the error handling for lstatSync to also consider EISDIR as a recoverable error when resolving parent directories.
Activity
  • The author confirmed that relevant documentation and README were updated.
  • The author confirmed that new tests were added to cover the changes.
  • The author validated the changes on MacOS using npm run.

Code Review

This pull request addresses an issue where fs.realpathSync can throw an EISDIR error on Windows for certain invalid paths. The change modifies robustRealpath to handle EISDIR in the same manner as ENOENT, which involves recursively resolving the parent path. This improves the function's robustness. A new test case has been added to validate this specific error handling scenario. The implementation is correct and well-tested.
