Folder watcher does not work on case sensitive filesystems

Open lps-rocks opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

The folder watcher flags a folder as 'unreadable' when used on a case-sensitive filesystems. This is likely due to case normalization somewhere in the process.

Reproducable by:

  • using a case-sensitive ZFS dataset (or other case-sensitive filesystem)
  • specify an all lower-case watch path
  • create unpackable directory with upper/lower case mixed property and watch unpackerr ignore the directory because it's 'unreadable'.

First thought: Almost everyone uses a case sensitive file system. Except Mac users...

I tested this by switching from case-sensitive to case-insensitive ZFS dataset. Once switching to case-insensitive, it began working. Let me see if i can find a better / more robust way to test this.

Try ext4?

I'm not able to reproduce this. Please re-open if you can.
