node-glob not finding file that exists and is matched by minimatch (Windows 10)
If you are experiencing issues with node-glob
not finding a file that exists and is matched by minimatch
on Windows 10, it could be due to the default behavior of case sensitivity in Windows file systems.
By default, Windows file systems are case-insensitive, while minimatch
is case-sensitive. This can cause inconsistencies when matching file paths with patterns that involve case differences.
To overcome this issue, you can try the following steps:
Ensure that the file path and pattern are using the correct case. Double-check the case of the file name, directory names, and the pattern being used.
Use the
nocase
option inminimatch
to perform a case-insensitive match. You can set this option when callingminimatch
to ignore case differences.javascriptconst minimatch = require('minimatch');
// Set the `nocase` option to perform a case-insensitive match
const isMatch = minimatch('file.txt', '*.TXT', { nocase: true });
console.log(isMatch); // true
By setting the
nocase
option totrue
,minimatch
will ignore case differences when matching the file path against the pattern.If the above steps do not resolve the issue, ensure that the file or directory in question is not hidden or has any access restrictions that could prevent it from being matched by
node-glob
.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully match files using node-glob
and minimatch
on Windows 10.
