[Scons-users] Node.FS get_path not working correctly?

[Daniel Moody]

It seems if I use get path with a file this is outside of the base build
dir or I try to get a path relative to a dir that is in the base build dir,
get_path just returns the abspath?

The function comment seems to suggest it would be relative:

def get_path(self, dir=None):
    """Return path relative to the current working directory of the
    Node.FS.Base object that owns us."""

Let SConstruct be:

import os

env = Environment()
test_file1_node = env.File(os.path.abspath('../outer/testFile1.txt'))
test_file2_node = env.File(os.path.abspath('./inner/testFile2.txt'))
test_file3_node = env.File(os.path.abspath('./inner2/testFile3.txt'))
print(test_file1_node.get_path())
print(test_file2_node.get_path())
print(test_file3_node.get_path('./inner2'))

I get this as output:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
C:\Users\Daniel\workspace\test\outer\testFile1.txt
inner\testFile2.txt
C:\Users\Daniel\workspace\test\base\inner2\testFile3.txt
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: `.' is up to date.
scons: done building targets.

Any ideas? I have a pull request to fix it if it is a bug.
