Subject: ignore trailing slash for `guix gc -d' /gnu/store/...something/
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 00:34:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150202233426.GA28580@venom.fritz.box> (raw)

Package: guix
Version: 0.8.1

When I invoke `guix gc -d /path', success of the command depends whether /path ends with slash or not:

$ guix gc -d /gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3/
guix gc: error: build failed: path `/gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3/' is not in the Nix store

$ guix gc -d /gnu/store/mgqk0kv5jckrd7l5cwj68fp7cz2l4qqj-luajit-2.0.3

* with the misleading error message it is usability bug
* it should be safe always try to remove slash from the end
* other commands may be affected too and the behaviour should be consistent for all commands
