No jump to shortest matching path about z HOT 7 CLOSED

I can see where you're coming from. I'll look into it!

from z.

@jnns did you confirm the same behaviour to exist in rupa's z? I don't think you'll ever be taken to /foo because it's not explicitly in the z file, and z only ever brings you to directories that are explicitly listed in the file.

@jethrokuan I'm not sure whether a line went missing during copy'n'paste but I retried the following:

> cd foo/bar
> z -l
8          /home/jnns/foo/bar/b
8          /home/jnns/foo/bar/a
8          /home/jnns/foo/bar
8          /home/jnns/foo
> z -e foo
/home/jnns/foo/bar

This is what happens with rupa's z:

> cp ~/.local/share/z/data ~/.z
> z -l  # rupa/z
common:    /home/jnns/foo
8          /home/jnns/foo
8          /home/jnns/foo/bar
8          /home/jnns/foo/bar/a
8          /home/jnns/foo/bar/b
> z -e foo
/home/jnns/foo

The behavior differs in the two implementations. Rupa's approach comes in handy when you want to return to a project root quickly, for example.

If anyone else is having this problem: a workaround I found useful is to use

z 'foo$'

or

z foo\$

This makes use of a regular expression that matches for a line end.

@jnns let me know if it doesn't work. my primitive testing tells me this works.

Thank you for your efforts in fixing this! Seems to work flawlessly now.

from z.

awesome!
