Info
The fix to support Windows Reparse Points in #23 inadvertently resulted in actual Windows symlinks being skipped. Since
fs::symlink_metadata
doesn't traverse symlinks, calling it on a symlink will result inis_file
being false, causewhich
to incorrectly ignore the symlink.Changes
is_symlink
in the Windows branch of theExistedChecker
, which correctly includes actual symlinks as well as potentially executable.Tested
.exe
file locally (following these steps) and confirmed that this change can detect the linked executable.which
still correctly detects directories aren't executable.Note
