Symlink of pkgx.yaml is not picked up

[Fredrik Averpil]

Expected behavior

• Add symlink to a pkgx.yaml file in a project directory.
• Run dev in project directory so to activate developer environment tooling.
• Cd into project directory.
• 🟢 The pkgx.yaml is read and the specified tooling is installed/loaded.

Actual behavior

• Add symlink to a pkgx.yaml file in a project directory.
• Run dev in project directory so to activate developer environment tooling.
• Cd into project directory.
• 🔴 No tooling is loaded. I don't think the file is recognized.

can confirm.

  for await (const [path, {name, isFile, isDirectory}] of dir.ls()) {
    if (isFile) {
      switch (name) {
...
      case "pkgx.yml":
      case "pkgx.yaml":
      case ".pkgx.yml":
      case ".pkgx.yaml":
        await parse_well_formatted_node(await path.readYAML())
        break
      }

  export interface DirEntry {
...
    /** True if this is info for a regular file. Mutually exclusive to
     * `DirEntry.isDirectory` and `DirEntry.isSymlink`. */
    isFile: boolean;

so, the really needs to be !isDirectory or isFile || (isSymlink && check_that_the_symlink_is_to_a_file()).

Has this been implemented yet? I can make a PR if not

[Fredrik Averpil]

@michaelessiet I can't say for sure, but I haven't tried to implement this.
