From: "Gary O'Sullivan" <gary5000 <at> gmail.com> To: 24787 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#24787: 25.1; eshell cd not changing directory on remote path (windows-nt) Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 00:03:28 +0100
On Windows I can change remote directories in eshell via absolute paths
but using relative paths return an error message "No such directory
found via CDPATH environment variable".
Run runemacs.exe -Q
M-x eshell
Welcome to the Emacs shell
c:/software/emacs/bin $ cd /plink:mysrv:/
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/ $ cd etc
No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable
/plink:mysrv:/home/gary/ $ cd /plink:mysrv:/etc
/plink:mysrv:/etc $
If I M-x toggle-debug-on-error I get the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No such directory found via
CDPATH environment variable")

I get the same error message if I try the following from the *scratch*
buffer:
(cd "/plink:mysrv:/") ; --> "/plink:mysrv:/"
(cd "etc") ; --> (error "No such directory found via CDPATH
environment variable")
(getenv "CDPATH") ; --> nil
If I change the error message in the cd function (files.el) to look like
the following
(error "No such directory '%s' found via CDPATH environment variable
'%s'" dir cd-path)
then it returns
No such directory ’etc’ found via CDPATH environment variable ’(./)’"
expand-file-name returns a path beginning with "c:" if the second arg
is "./" .
default-directory ; --> "/plink:mysrv:/"
(expand-file-name "etc") ; --> "/plink:mysrv:/etc"
(expand-file-name "etc" default-directory) ; --> "/plink:mysrv:/etc"
(expand-file-name "etc" "./") ; --> "c:/plink:mysrv:/etc"
