Hi,
I started seeing a difference in behavior when I run the following code in Linux and Windows in node 10 and node 12.
const fs = require('fs');
console.log(`Before symlink: ${fs.existsSync('linkHere')}`);
fs.symlinkSync('test/foo.js', 'linkHere');
console.log(`After symlink: ${fs.existsSync('linkHere')}`);
console.log(`issymlink: ${fs.lstatSync('linkHere').isSymbolicLink()}`);
//cleanup
fs.unlinkSync('linkHere');I created reproduction repo and travis, appveyor CI to show the difference.
Please check the output of the above snippet;
$ node --version
v8.16.2
> node index.js
Before symlink: false
After symlink: false
issymlink: true
$ node index.js
Before symlink: false
After symlink: false
issymlink: true
$ node --version
v10.17.0
> node index.js
Before symlink: false
After symlink: false
issymlink: true
Installing node 10.17.0 (x86)...
$ node index.js
Before symlink: false
After symlink: true
issymlink: true
I am not sure why are we getting different result for same code in windows and Linux? Is it a bug or am I missing something.
Reproduction repo: https://github.com/SparshithNR/node-symlink
Travis build: https://travis-ci.com/SparshithNR/node-symlink/builds/137133722
appveyor build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SparshithNR/node-symlink
Thank you in advance :)
