Subject: Cygwin/MSYS2: Trouble converting relative paths from / using :a or :A
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 11:19:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01fa01d7d7fa$33567960$9a036c20$@gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 406 bytes --]

In Cygwin or MSYS2, if I execute

 

    cd /

    foo=bin

    echo ${foo:a}

    echo ${foo:A}

    echo ${foo:P}

 

for the :a modifier I get

 

    //bin

 

for the :A modifier I get a long pause, followed by

 

    //bin

 

(Is it trying to access a network share?) But for the :P modifier I get the
expected

 

    /bin

 

The //bin paths are unusable ("No such file or directory").

 

Alex
