Generate.sh script returns an error

[thunderbiscuit]

After searching a bit, apparently realpath doesn't work inside scripts? Not sure why this is not throwing off the script; the wheel built fine on my end and my tests also worked.

generate.sh: line 5: zsh: command not found: realpath

It's failing yet still storing the right variable inside SCRIPT_DIR:

bdk-python on master [$!] via 🐍
❯ SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname "$(realpath $0)")
zsh: command not found: realpath

bdk-python on master [$!] via 🐍
❯ echo $SCRIPT_DIR
.

@afilini do you know anything about this? It doesn't appear to create a problem on my end but it's still throwing an error, so I want to make sure it doesn't come and bite us later on.

For now the SCRIPT_DIR evaluates to ., is there a situation where you would need it to be something else?

I guess it just depends on your system, mine has a realpath binary so it also works in scripts, maybe other distros define it as an alias.

Try replacing it with readlink -f as suggested by that stackoverflow thread.

If you run the command from a different working directory it needs to adapt accordingly

Looking into this this morning and the simplest way seems to be to install coreutils using homebrew, which will bring in the realpath command.

brew install coreutils.
