  • Bug Fixes
    • Absolute paths that traverse above the filesystem root now stay at / instead of producing an error.
    • File reads using paths with root-level .. segments now resolve to the expected file.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Path normalization now discards .. segments that would traverse above the filesystem root. Tests cover normalized paths and file reads through paths with root-level parent segments.

Changes

Root-clamped path normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clamp parent traversal at root
src/path.js, src/__tests__/path.spec.js, src/__tests__/fs.spec.js, src/__tests__/fs.promises.spec.js
The path reducer keeps paths at the root when it processes .. there. Tests cover normalized paths and file reads through paths that traverse above the root.

A rabbit hops along the root,
Past .. that cannot push it through.
It finds the file and reads “HELLO,”
Then tucks its path beneath the snow.
One root, one burrow, safe and true.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report rejected file operations in this test.

If mkdir, writeFile, or readFile rejects, the nested promise chain does not call done(). The spec waits for a timeout instead of reporting the operation error. Return one complete promise chain from the spec and remove done; Jasmine fails a spec when its returned promise rejects. (jasmine.github.io)
