#1 Updated by Teodor Gorghe 11 months ago

While creating some testcases for testing some OS commands, I have encountered this issue: if you want to check the full path for a folder in your current working directory, e.g. deploy/client, SEARCH(relative_directory_path) returns unknown. The SEARCH(relative_file_path) is not affected.
I think there is no customer application that is involved in this issue.

Please post the 4GL code example that works differently in OE and FWD.

#3 Updated by Teodor Gorghe 11 months ago

OS-CREATE-DIR("dirname") // or OS-COMMAND VALUE('mkdir dirname')
SEARCH("dirname") // OE returns the absolute directory path and FWD returns unknown

4GL also returns unknown on directories, but I was fooled by ABLUnit Assert:IsTrue when the result is unknown and there is no error message.

Assert:IsTrue(?, "message"). // OE and FWD raises the error
Assert:IsTrue(?). // OE does not raise any error, but FWD raises the AssertionFailedError.

I don't currently see that in the customer, but the I have made a fix on FWD revision 16155 task branch 10509a.
