Subject: bug#17641: 24.3.91; (locate-dominating-file "." Makefile) returns nil.
Date: Fri, 30 May 2014 15:02:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sinrfmhr.fsf@yahoo.fr> (raw)
Evalling
(locate-dominating-file "." "Makefile")
I get nil (unless the current directory has the file Makefile in it).
I expected to get some parent directory containing that file.
otoh, evalling:
(locate-dominating-file default-directory "Makefile")
works as expected.
In GNU Emacs 24.3.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.20)
of 2014-05-13 on LDLC-portable
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11406000
System Description: Ubuntu 13.10
