I think:

  • We should do this inside open_note, rather than here. As-is, we'll run osname -s any time you run any command, which is just a bit wasteful, and it's not clear what the code in open_note is really doing now (it looks like it actually calls open, but it's really using this logic instead)
  • We should explicitly handle OSX here, which really does use open (that was what this code originally targeted). Looks like you're essentially handling that as a fallback case? Nicer to be clearer.
  • For versions where we don't know what to do (Windows), we should print a nice message and exit 1, with something like: 
    Opening your notes directory is not supported on your platform ($OS).
Do you know how we can support this? Open an issue! https://github.com/pimterry/notes/issues/new

Yes you are right, we should stuff the checks inside open_note(), The current approach was a mistake, I should have checked where open() was being called before wrapping. (Note: I checked it now :)
As for the test cases, I'll have to look, why they are failing and what those test cases are for in the first place. 😅

Thanks for the feedback :)
