cd // results in infinite loop

[greg9q]

Using version 0.1.0 on my Mac. cd // gets caught here:

    while [[ "$PWD" != "/" && "$PWD" != "$home" ]]
    do
      _file="$PWD/.env"
      if [[ -e "${_file}" ]]
      then echo "${_file}"
      fi
      builtin cd ..
    done

Once PWD gets to // it stays there and keeps looping. Ran into this since my Anaconda install likes to put these // prefixes at the start of path names. Kind of weird, but they are valid paths.

Is this problem still there in 0.2.0? I rewrote most of this logic.

Yes. Here's the loop where it get's stuck now:

        while [ "${PWD}" != "${_mountpoint}" ]; do
            _file="${PWD}/${AUTOENV_ENV_FILENAME}"
            if [ -f "${_file}" ]; then
                if [ -z "${_hadone}" ]; then
                    echo -n ${_file}
                    _hadone='1'
                else
                    echo -n "
${_file}"
                fi
            fi
            command -v chdir >/dev/null 2>&1 && chdir .. || builtin cd ..
        done

Thanks much for the link.

Need support for symlinked directory too.

Same behaviour occurs when you try to switch into a soft linked directory from other mount point.

eg:
OS : Mac OSX
autoenv : 1.0.0
Shell : zsh

ln -s /Volumes/Disk1/code /Users/ashokraja/code
cd /Users/ashokraja/code/autoenv


df /Users/ashokraja/code
++ awk 'END{print $NF}'
++ _mountpoint=/Volumes/MDRIVE
++ _hadone=
++ '[' /Users/ashokraja/code '!=' /Volumes/Disk1 ']'
++ _file=/Users/ashokraja/code/.env
++ '[' -f /Users/ashokraja/code/.env ']'
++ command -v chdir
++ builtin cd ..
++ '[' /Users/ashokraja '!=' /Volumes/Disk1 ']'
++ _file=/Users/ashokraja/.env
++ '[' -f /Users/ashokraja/.env ']'
++ command -v chdir
++ builtin cd ..
++ '[' /Users '!=' /Volumes/Disk1 ']'
++ _file=/Users/.env
++ '[' -f /Users/.env ']'
++ command -v chdir
++ builtin cd ..
++ '[' / '!=' /Volumes/Disk1 ']'
++ _file=//.env
++ '[' -f //.env ']'
++ command -v chdir
++ builtin cd ..
++ '[' / '!=' /Volumes/MDRIVE ']'
++ _file=//.env
++ '[' -f //.env ']'
++ command -v chdir
++ builtin cd ..
...
....

Infinite loop.

@ashokrajar Can you please open a new issue for that? It's caused by another problem.

@greg9q Can you please test the current master?

[greg9q]

@dasJ Yes, current master now works. Thanks!
