Subject: :P test failure
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 21:27:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b8c58b13375dd10cc5c39a2fda20d51b090880c0.camel@ntlworld.com> (raw)

This doesn't work on my machine:

 # This is a bit brittle as it depends on PATH_MAX.
 # We could use sysconf..
 bad_pwd="/${(l:16000:: :):-}"
 print ${bad_pwd:P} | wc -c
0:modifier ':P' with path too long
>16002

The modification fails with error and output

zsh: path expansion failed, using root directory
2
