deno install to support file:///

[reggi]

When I try to install a path that is prefixed by file:/// (the output from import.meta.url when the file is a local file) it will have an unexpected result in the install file generated.

Here's an example of what I ran:

deno install -f --allow-read \
         --allow-write \
         --allow-run \
         --unstable \
         file:///Users/thomas/Desktop/projects/deno-media-library/media-library.ts

Here's what it saved:

#!/bin/sh
# generated by deno install
deno "run" "--allow-read" "--allow-write" "--allow-run" "--unstable" "file:///Users/thomas/Desktop/projects/deno-media-library/file:/Users/thomas/Desktop/projects/deno-media-library/media-library.ts" "$@"

I ran into a similar issue when using the path module and resolving the output from import.meta.url.

import * as path from "https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts";
console.log(path.resolve(import.meta.url))

$> deno run --allow-read ./example.ts
Compile file:///Users/thomas/Desktop/projects/deno-media-library/example.ts
/Users/thomas/Desktop/projects/deno-media-library/file:/Users/thomas/Desktop/projects/deno-media-library/example.ts

deno 1.0.5
v8 8.4.300
typescript 3.9.2

This problem should be fixed by #5276

I'm trying to install a local module but I'm getting the following error:

No such file or directory (os error 2)

Just in case I have set the following environment variable:

export DENO_INSTALL_ROOT="$HOME/.deno"

Anyone has an idea of what's going on? Also I have tried with the file://protocol

Thanks.

Edit:

Seems DENO_INSTALL_ROOT directory must exists, so I removed the environment variable and everything works.

#5276 got merged a while ago... I'm pretty sure this issue is resolved.

This has been fixed, so closing
