#48 Issues with CDPATH and standalone pact-mock-service Issue created by madtrick Software versions • OS: Mac OSX 10.15.4 • Consumer Pact library: 9.8.2 • Provider Pact library: n/a • Node Version: v12.13 Expected behaviour The

pact-mock-service

binary runs and my contracts can be verified. Actual behaviour When I try to run my contract suite locally I get the following error:

[2020-03-30T07:29:11.285Z] ERROR: pact-node@10.8.0/43955 on riazor.fritz.box:
    Pact Binary Error: standalone/darwin-1.82.1/pact/bin/pact-mock-service: line 19: cd: ./standalone/darwin-1.82.1/pact/bin
    /Users/farruco/repos/work/comments-api/node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-node/standalone/darwin-1.82.1/pact/bin: No such file or directory

Notice that the error contains two paths: • ./standalone/darwin-1.82.1/pact/bin • /Users/farruco/repos/work/comments-api/node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-node/standalone/darwin-1.82.1/pact/bin Steps to reproduce After some debugging I discovered what the issue is. The error I pasted above is thrown from the script

standalone/darwin-1.82.1/pact/bin/pact-mock-service

when it tries to get the path to the library dir. This are the relevant lines in that script:

DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && pwd )"

# Figure out where this script is located.
LIBDIR="`cd \"$DIR\" && cd ../lib && pwd`"

In my current setup the variable

$DIR

results in a string which contains the two paths I listed above and that results in an error at the line where the script tries to generate the value for the

$LIBDIR

variable. Why does

$DIR

contains two paths? Because I'm have the $CDPATH env variable set in my shell and that interferes with how cd behaves. With

$CDPATH

set the statement

cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )"

will echo the path to which it changed the directory (if the path was relative). This echoed path is concatenated to the result from

pwd

. With

$CDPATH

unset the statement

cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )"

won't echo anything. Relevant log files n/a pact-foundation/pact-ruby-standalone
