"gsl from" causes "Undefined expression: directory.open (...)"

[duzy]

Hi, I have have two functions to do code generation recursively on a directory.

But it looks like "gsl from my.filepath" has something wrong with directory.open, please help.

When I use "gsl file.slurp(...)" instead, it seems working fine.

function GenCode (dirname, filename)
    my.filepath = my.dirname + '/' + my.filename
    if regexp.match ('\(.*\)\.gsl$', my.filename, my.name)
        echo "GenCode: $(my.filepath:)"

        ######################################
        #gsl from my.filepath
        gsl file.slurp (my.filepath)
        ######################################

    elsif regexp.match ('.*~$', my.filename)
        # ignore slently...
    else
        echo "Ignored '$(my.filepath:)'"
    endif
endfunction

function GenCodeRecursively (dirname)
    echo "GenCodeRecursively: " + my.dirname
    my.dir = directory.open (my.dirname)
    for my.dir.file as f
        GenCode (my.dirname, f.name)
    endfor
    for my.dir.directory as sub
        GenCodeRecursively (my.dirname + '/' + sub.name)
    endfor
endfunction

Can you make a minimal test case, with a directory tree containing gsl
scripts and data, and the top level script that fails? Then zip the lot and
email it to me, at [email protected] so I can reproduce the problem and try to
fix it...? Thanks.

Yes, sure. Now I have two versions of it that reproduce the similar errors. I'll pack my latest tree first and then revert a bit to the earlier version.

Hi Pieter, please check your email, it's sent :)

OK, so I get the same errors... that's good. No idea what the cause could
be, will debug dir.open a little...

directory.open is using the wrong path for some reason:

GenCodeRecursively.dir = directory.open (my.dirname, error)?
echo error?""

reports

/home/ph/Downloads/a/code/.: No such file or directory

So there's some error in the directory open function, which is I think
confusing its file paths.

Thanks Pieter for the 'error'. The 'error' in the form of "directory.open (my.dirname, error) ?" gave much easier prompt. I think my work could become much easier when errors were like that.

Hope that we can find out the cause of the directory.open error. I was trying to go deep into the code, but I think I will need a lot of time to understand the whole.
