SudaWrite failure based on cwd?

[axieax]

Was struggling to debug this issue for a while, not sure if this is expected behaviour?

SudaWrite /etc/environment from / ->

SudoWrite /etc/environment from /etc -> success

[lambdalisue]

Not sure but it seems https://github.com/lambdalisue/suda.vim/blob/master/autoload/suda.vim#L74 fails somehow...

What happen if you directly call suda#write() like (note that it will overwrite the content of /etc/foobar so BE CAREFUL!)

:call suda#write('suda:///etc/foobar')

And

:echo substitute('suda:///etc/foobar', '\v^(suda://)+', '', '')

[axieax]

:call suda#write('suda:///etc/foobar')

No errors, working as expected

:echo substitute('suda:///etc/foobar', '\v^(suda://)+', '', '')

/etc/foobar

[axieax]

Debugging:

plugin/suda.vim

• args in line 28: "/etc/environment"

autoload/suda.vim

• a:expr: <afile>
• path in line 74 and onwards: "uda:///etc/environment"

[lambdalisue]

It's quite strange. What happen if you modify the code like

function! suda#write(expr, ...) abort range
  echomsg "expr:" . a:expr
  echomsg "expand:" . expand(a:expr)
  echomsg "path:" . s:strip_prefix(expand(a:expr))
  " Original code starts from here
  let path = s:strip_prefix(expand(a:expr))
  " ...

[axieax]

Sometimes I have issues, sometimes not..

Successful (call nvim /etc/environment from user home directory, or nvim environment from /etc):

Fail (call nvim /etc/environment from root directory):

[lambdalisue]

What about

function! suda#write(expr, ...) abort range
  echomsg "expr:" . a:expr
  echomsg "expand:" . expand(a:expr)
  echomsg "bufname:" . bufname("%")
  echomsg "expand:" . expand("%")
  echomsg "path:" . s:strip_prefix(expand(a:expr))
  " Original code starts from here
  let path = s:strip_prefix(expand(a:expr))
  " ...

[lambdalisue]

It's quite puzzling... I'm sorry but I've no idea...

Thought this was an issue with my Linux permissions after removing some shada files, but it seems that I can also reproduce this on my Mac. Just wondering if you are able to reproduce this as well?

[lambdalisue]

How to reproduce the issue?

[axieax]

Fail (call nvim /etc/environment from root directory)

Then launch :SudaWrite

[lambdalisue]

Then I could not reproduce it

@axieax I can not reproduce this either. Is your vim config available online?

[axieax]

Hi, yes it's available in my dotconfig repo: https://www.github.com/axieax/dotconfig
