Recursive directory iterator tries to follow symlink on macOS
wolfv opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
I am recursing over a directory with symlinks inside. These symlinks have no valid target though. Unfortunately when running over this with a recursive directory iterator, it throws with "No such file or directory" when incrementing the iterator.

To Reproduce
Downloading, unpacking and iterating over the contents of this file https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/mysql-libs/8.0.23/download/osx-64/mysql-libs-8.0.23-hbeb7981_1.tar.bz2 should lead to the same issue. It contains the missing symlinks mentioned above. I observed this on macOS only so far.
The STL implementation does not have this problem.
This came up in mamba: mamba-org/mamba#950
Expected behavior
I'd like the iterator to move to the next item.
Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.
This is now part of release v1.5.6
Thanks!
