Motivation
We have some cases in our telemetry where the user typed in a relative require pointing to a directory that the editor doesn't have permission to read.
This will cause an
Errno::EPERM
and currently makes completion crash.Implementation
Started rescuing the error. If we can't read the directory, we can't list files.
Automated Tests
I tried writing a test for this, but for some reason removing all permissions with
FileUtils.chmod
doesn't reproduce. Glob just returns an empty array instead.Not sure if the behaviour is platform specific, but rather than spending a disproportionate amount of effort writing this one test, I think it's safe to just rescue.
