Relative paths error on MacOS

[joejacobs]

Running the following bash commands

cd /keybase/private/user
mkdir -p a/b/c
cd a
mv b ../
cd ../b
touch ../a/d.txt
mv c ../a/

should create the following files/dirs:

Dir  /keybase/private/user/a
Dir  /keybase/private/user/a/c
File /keybase/private/user/a/d.txt
Dir  /keybase/private/user/b

This works fine on my Linux machine. But when I run it on MacOS 10.13.6, it creates the following dirs instead:

Dir /keybase/private/user/a
Dir /keybase/private/user/a/a
Dir /keybase/private/user/b

And the touch command fails with the following error:

touch: ../a/d.txt: No such file or directory

Thanks for the succinct repro case, I confirmed it happens to me too. I'll open an internal ticket to track figuring this out, we'll get to it within a few days.

I think I tracked this down to an osxfuse bug, and I filed this issue: osxfuse/osxfuse#553.

There might be some strategies we can use in KBFS to get around this until it's fixed in osxfuse. I'll you posted.
