Absolute file paths on linux

[krisvanneste]

When running sourcespec on our linux server, I experience a problem with the path to the output folder. If I specify an absolute path (e.g. /mnt/geoserver/Belshake/sourcespec), the output is written to a folder relative to the working directory (e.g. /home/kris/mnt/geoserver/Belshake/sourcespec). On Windows, this does not happen.

The problem seems to be situated in the move_outdir function in ssp_setup.py:

    path = os.path.normpath(config.options.outdir).split(os.sep)
    dst = os.path.join(*path[:-1], str(evid))

Leading slashes are removed in dst. Is this intentional? I didn't change anything, but solved it by running everything from the root folder...

Thanks for reporting this!

It should be now fixed in the main branch.

Could you please double-check on Windows and Linux?

[krisvanneste]

Works both on Windows and Linux!

[claudiodsf]

Great! Did you also double-check with relative paths, in case there are regressions?

[krisvanneste]

Sorry, no. I will try that too.

[krisvanneste]

Relative paths also work as expected on both platforms.

Super! Closing!
