Hello, i am facing a bug on portable OpenBSD ksh, aka oksh; where cd
will attempt to search for the given directory (if not provided as an
absolute path) in CDPATH before checking it in the current working
directory. A way to reproduce is the following:
/tmp $ unset CDPATH
/tmp $ mkdir foo
/tmp $ cd foo
/tmp/foo $ CDPATH=/tmp
/tmp/foo $ mkdir bar
/tmp/foo $ cd bar
/bin/ksh: cd: bar: bad directory
/tmp/foo $ unset CDPATH
/tmp/foo $ cd bar
/tmp/foo/bar $
This is reproducible on OpenBSD.
I believe since the given directory (argument) is not an absolute path;
it attempts to search in CDPATH before checking if the directory
exists. This will cause any attempts to cd into a directory to fail.
I also believe that the given directory to cd should be preferred over
CDPATH; what i mean by this is if a directory exists within CDPATH but
also exists within the current working directory; the latter should be
preferred.
This is my first time submitting to a mailing list, so my apologies if
i get something wrong.
