Resolves #807
String(decoding:as:)
was including the null-terminator from the Windows API, and when this is passed toURL
, it's encoded in the formfile:///C:/Users/alex%00/
. When enumerating the directory, we get the file system representation of theURL
, which decodes%00
to back to\0
. This was causing us to append a file namealex
to the directory, gettingfile:///C:/Users/alex%00/alex
, which "exists" because it was only checking for the existence offile:///C:/Users/alex
. This cycle repeats, causing an infinite loop in the enumerator.This PR 1) replaces
String(decoding:as:)
withString(decodingCString:as:)
in the home directory function and 2) preventsURL.fileSystemPath
from decoding%00
to\0
.
