Hi,
I consider CfsPath>>isValidPathName: (or more specifically some of the sub class implementations) to be broken for case insensitive file systems. E.g. on a Windows system with NTFS or FAT file system it will answer
- Code: Select all
CfsPath isValidPathName: 'c:\' --> true
CfsPath isValidPathName: 'C:\' --> false
I fixed this by replacing the above method with the following code (as there is already a method isCaseSensitive for the different file system implementations):
- Code: Select all
isValidPathName: pathName
"Answer whether @pathName is a valid path name."
| validName |
validName := self defaultSubclass makeValidFormatFrom: pathName.
^(validName = pathName) or: [self defaultSubclass isCaseSensitive not and: [validName equalsIgnoringCase: pathName]].
Ciao, Michael

You are correct -- CfsPath class>>#isValidPathName: is broken on platforms are are not case sensitive. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have opened case 39203 for this problem. A fix is planned for V8.0.1.
