  • Version: v12.8.0
  • Platform: Ubuntu 19.04 (Linux 5.0.0-23-generic Simple project messaging. #24-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 29 15:36:44 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

I'm checking if given path in config file is absolute or relative. It works great however not when ~ is used. Then it returns false.

Here is my code

import path from 'path';

path.isAbsolute('/var/www/index.html'); // true
path.isAbsolute('./index.html'); // false
path.isAbsolute('~/Documents/test.json'); // false - THIS IS BAD

    The problem is that the path module doesn't know anything about expanding the ~ (that's a shell thing).

    As Colin mentions, the path module doesn't do shell expansion. Closing, not a bug.

    Sorry guys, my fault. I always thought that ~ is regular path descriptor for Linux, not a shell thing.
