Two Cross-Platform Bugs in Our Go CLI (And How We Fixed Them)
The article discusses two cross-platform bugs encountered while developing the Go CLI for TestSmith. Both issues were related to path handling and filesystem traversal, specifically on Windows. The solutions involved refining the logic for detecting project roots and correcting hardcoded path separators.
- ▪The first bug involved incorrect detection of project types due to assumptions about .git directories.
- ▪The second bug was related to hardcoded path separators that caused discrepancies in file paths on Windows.
- ▪Both bugs were not visible on macOS and Linux, highlighting the importance of cross-platform testing.
