nocase:true not working properly on linux

[aabluedragon]

For the given example, let's say we have the following directory in our file system (linux)
/home/myusername/app/StylES
The following code will not find this entry:

const results = glob.globSync('styles', {cwd:"/home/myusername/app", nocase:true});
console.log(results.length) // prints 0

Does it work if you add nocaseMagicOnly: false to the options?

TypeScript says 'nocaseMagicOnly' does not exist in type 'GlobOptions'
Either way, I tried and it didn't work.

Oh right, it's a minimatch option. I think if you specify nocase, but it's a normally case sensitive file system, we need to disable that option. On May 4, 2023, at 14:18, Alon Amir ***@***.***> wrote: Tried adding that, typescript says 'nocaseMagicOnly' does not exist in type 'GlobOptions' Either way, I tried and it didn't work. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you commented.Message ID: ***@***.***>

So, is it planned to fix nocase:true to work over linux as well, or support nocaseMagicOnly to overcome it?
This is a very useful feature to have on case sensitive operating systems.

Fix it in Linux. Basically, have glob set nocaseMagicOnly as appropriate, based on both the platform and nocase.
