Find.find() seems to filter out broken symlinks. I was hoping to use it to get a recursive list of files in directory so I could run various tests on each file (like whether or not a symlink points to a valid file)
What can I use instead of Find.find()? Is there a better way?
def testsymlinks(srcpath)
Find.find(srcpath) do |path|
if File.symlink?(path)
begin
File.stat(path)
rescue Exception => e
$stderr.puts "The symlink " + path + " does not point to a valid file. Please check that you have all your network volumes mounted."
exit(-1)
end
end
end
end
Is there a Rails specific list? I tried subscribing to '
rails@lists.rubyonrails.org' but haven't been able to get a response.

Are you sure of this? I tried a small setup (made a directory, created a file
and made a symlink to it, then removed the file) and it works. Find.find
passes the broken symlink to the block and File.stat raises a SystemCall
error (Errno::ENOENT). I'm running ruby 1.8.6 on gentoo linux.
