This would still remove non-existent paths, which isn't a strict
inversion and contradicts the docs.
Currently, to only allow paths that exist but don't pass a type check,
you'd have to filter twice:
path filter -Z foo bar | path filter -vfz
If a shortcut for this becomes necessary we can add it later.
This is now added to the two commands that definitely deal with
relative paths.
It doesn't work for e.g. `path basename`, because after removing the
dirname prepending a "./" doesn't refer to the same file, and the
basename is also expected to not contain any slashes.
Because we now count the extension including the ".", we print an
empty entry.
This makes e.g.
```fish
set -l base (path change-extension '' $somefile)
set -l ext (path extension $somefile)
echo $base$ext
```
reconstruct the filename, and makes it easier to deal with files with
no extension.
This means "../" components are cancelled out even after non-existent
paths or files.
(the alternative is to error out, but being able to say `path resolve
/path/to/file/../../` over `path resolve (path dirname
/path/to/file)/../../` seems worth it?)
This sorts paths by basename, dirname or full path - in future
possibly size or age.
It takes --invert to invert the sort and "--what=basename|dirname|..."
to specify what to sort
This can be used to implement better conf.d sorting, with something
like
```fish
set -l sourcelist
for file in (path sort --what=basename $__fish_config_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_sysconf_dir/conf.d/*.fish $vendor_confdirs/*.fish)
```
which will iterate over the files by their basename. Then we keep a
list of their basenames to skip over anything that was already
sourced, like before.
The recent change to skip the newline for `string` changed this, and
it also hit builtin path (which is in development separately, so it's
not like it broke master).
Let's pick a good default here.
Yeah, the macOS tests fail because it's started in /private/var... with a
$PWD of /var.... So resolve canonicalizes the path, which makes it no
longer match $PWD.
Simply use pwd -P
This just goes back until it finds an existent path, resolves that,
and adds the normalized rest on top.
So if you try
/bin/foo/bar////../baz
and /bin exists as a symlink to /usr/bin, it would resolve that, and
normalize the rest, giving
/usr/bin/foo/baz
(note: We might want to add this to realpath as well?)
This includes the "." in what `path extension` prints.
This allows distinguishing between an empty extension (just `.`) and a
non-existent extension (no `.` at all).
