Subject: bug#1337: crash on going into non-existing dir with find-file
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 06:04:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52172E88-2FC5-4C7A-B5D0-DEB2258150E6@xahlee.org> (raw)
using a
This causes a hard crash.
Steps:
1. eval (find-file "file:///Users/xah/web/emacs/apple_pc_kb_diff.html")
then you'll go into a empty buffer.
2. now M-x find-file, hit Enter. Now i expect to go to the dir this
file is located. (note that the file doesn't exist yet)
3. emacs crashed.
am pretty sure this is 100% reproducible. It crashed 3 times on me.
The problem occured because i was trying to open a local file, where
the file path happend to be a url scheme path. Apparently, find-file
does not recognize url scheme local files, but find-file-at-point
auto launch browser when the file is url scheme. In any case, i got
confused a bit because i know the file exist but i got a empty
buffer. So i tried to go into th dir to see where exactly emacs think
is the path, then crash.
