🔍 Investigation Summary

After thorough investigation, Issue #50 has already been resolved. The CWD with CD pattern is working correctly in the current codebase.

📋 Issue Analysis

The issue described CWD (Current Working Directory) problems where cd commands in shell operator chains like cd /some/directory && pwd were not maintaining directory context properly.

🕐 Timeline Discovery

  • September 3, 2025: Commit 9255f65 "Better cd virtual command support" implemented shell operators support
  • September 8, 2025: Issue CWD with CD pattern failure #50 was created (5 days AFTER the fix was already implemented)

✅ Current Status - All Patterns Work Correctly

1. Basic CD Chain Pattern

await $`cd /some/directory && pwd`  # ✅ Works - outputs /some/directory

2. Separate Commands Pattern

await $`cd /some/directory`;
await $`pwd`;  # ✅ Works - outputs /some/directory

3. Git Scenario (from issue description)

await $`cd /some/directory && git add file.txt`  # ✅ Works correctly

4. Complex Chains

await $`cd /tmp && mkdir test && cd test && pwd`  # ✅ Works correctly

🧪 Verification Tests

Added comprehensive test suite in tests/cwd-cd-pattern-issue.test.mjs covering:

  • ✅ Separate cd and pwd commands
  • ✅ cd && pwd pattern
  • ✅ Git scenario from issue description
  • ✅ Multiple directory operations
  • ✅ Build scenario simulation
  • ✅ Relative paths after cd
  • ✅ CWD option vs cd command consistency
  • ✅ Error handling

All tests PASS with 100% success rate.

🔧 Technical Implementation

The issue was resolved by the shell operators implementation that:

  1. Parses shell operators (&&, ||, ;, ()) instead of passing them to sh -c
  2. Executes virtual commands in-process maintaining Node.js process.cwd()
  3. Maintains directory context across command chains
  4. Provides proper subshell isolation with () operators

📁 Files Added

  • tests/cwd-cd-pattern-issue.test.mjs - Comprehensive test suite for issue scenarios
  • examples/test-issue-50-* - Various test scripts demonstrating the fix

🎉 Resolution

Issue #50 is RESOLVED. The command-stream library correctly handles all CD patterns mentioned in the issue. The virtual cd command works exactly as expected with shell operators, maintaining directory context across command chains.

This PR documents the investigation findings and adds test coverage to ensure the functionality remains working.

Issue: #50
@konard konard self-assigned this Sep 9, 2025
@konard konard changed the title [WIP] CWD with CD pattern failure Issue #50: CWD with CD pattern - RESOLVED (Already Fixed) Sep 9, 2025
Issue #50 has been investigated and found to be ALREADY RESOLVED.
The shell operators implementation from commit 9255f65 (Sep 3, 2025)
fixed the CWD pattern issue before the issue was even created (Sep 8, 2025).

Added test files:
- tests/cwd-cd-pattern-issue.test.mjs - Comprehensive test suite covering all scenarios
- examples/test-issue-50-*.mjs - Various demonstration and verification scripts
- examples/test-original-issue.mjs - Test based on original issue description

All tests PASS with 100% success rate, confirming the issue is resolved:
✅ cd && pwd pattern works correctly
✅ Separate cd/pwd commands work correctly
✅ Git operations with cd chains work correctly
✅ Complex directory operations work correctly
✅ Error handling works correctly

The virtual cd command properly maintains directory context across
shell operator chains (&&, ||, ;) as expected.
