From 397fff2b66d743d9f3dc71061558637844c28975 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: diogo464 Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2025 16:29:05 +0100 Subject: Improve root directory validation with enhanced error handling MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Enhanced root directory validation with several improvements: 1. **Better Error Messages**: More descriptive error messages with specific guidance on how to resolve issues (create directory, check permissions, etc.) 2. **Path Canonicalization**: Resolve symlinks and relative paths to absolute canonical paths, ensuring consistent behavior across different path formats 3. **Write Permission Validation**: Proactively check write permissions by creating a temporary test file before attempting daemon operations 4. **Comprehensive Edge Case Handling**: - Broken symlinks are properly detected as non-existent - Regular symlinks to directories are resolved correctly - Symlinks to files are rejected appropriately - Deep nested non-existent paths are handled gracefully 5. **Enhanced Git Root Handling**: Better error messages for git repository detection failures and .demon directory creation issues 6. **Robust Testing**: Added comprehensive test suite covering: - All edge cases and error conditions - Improved error message validation - Write permission validation - Path canonicalization behavior - Symlink handling (valid, broken, to files, to directories) The validation now provides clear, actionable feedback to users when directory issues are encountered, making the tool more user-friendly and robust in various deployment scenarios. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/main.rs | 85 +++++++-- tests/root_validation.rs | 457 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 524 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/root_validation.rs diff --git a/src/main.rs b/src/main.rs index d0a2763..9f3dc3c 100644 --- a/src/main.rs +++ b/src/main.rs @@ -332,7 +332,9 @@ fn run_command(command: Commands) -> Result<()> { } fn find_git_root() -> Result { - let mut current = std::env::current_dir()?; + let mut current = std::env::current_dir().with_context( + || "Failed to get current working directory.
