Aha!
I wanted to make sure I was testing exactly what you suggested, so I
did a copy/paste your command (not including the <TAB> of course)
echo /Users/luomat/Dropbox/sites/
and then pressed <tab> which gave me
echo /Users/luomat/Dropbox/Sites/
pressing <tab> again gave me content of $sites/
SO, I went to ~/.zshrc and changed
sites="$db/sites"
to
sites="$db/Sites"
and I can do:
cd $sites/<tab>
and get the list of the directories as expected.
SOLUTION: Make sure that the variables/named directories are named
more precisely in ~/.zshrc
Note that the actual directory is named "Sites" and there is no
"sites" folder. The Mac OS X filesystem (HFS+) is "case preserving but
not case sensitive" (which I've always disliked, and now I have yet
another reason why).
I would still suggest that the original behavior which left me with
"cd $sites//Users/luomat/Dropbox/Sites/" is a zsh bug, but I will
leave that decision to those more qualified to answer.
Thanks for helping me figure this out!
