Directory and command name conflicts

Directory and command name conflicts

zsh tries to be helpful with cd'ing by checking to see if the command you
fired is a directory, and cd's there automagically. However, it doesn't
check to see if there is a command first. So, in my case, I had just
installed gradle but had a folder called gradle so it would always open the
folder and not launch gradle.

Please send me an email if there is any progress or something I should know.

It does that only if you have the AUTO_CD option set.

Yes, it does, but:

When you install a new binary, you have to tell zsh to reload its
lookup table of command names by giving the command:

    rehash

Thereafter it will find the command gradle before the directory gradle.
