strange behavior when seeding directories

[madd512]

Seeding a directory with one file in it:

Same script as above

Expected:

$ node seed.js 
[ 'a.txt' ]

Actual:

$ node seed.js 
[ 'www' ]

Seeding a directory with two files in it:

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent-hybrid');

var client = new WebTorrent();

client.seed('./www', function(torrent){
  console.log(torrent.files.map(file => file.path));
});

Expected:

$ node seed.js 
[ 'a.txt', 'b.txt' ]

Actual:

$ node seed.js 
[ 'www/a.txt', 'www/b.txt' ]

Thanks for reporting. There was indeed a bug when seeding a directory with one file in it. That's fixed in create-torrent 3.13.0 now. 👍 That was actually quite tricky to debug! webtorrent/create-torrent@b459298

The path property on the file automatically includes the directory name that should be created when saving the file to the filesystem. So, your second example of seeding a directory with two files is actually behaving as expected. Maybe we shouldn't do that, but it's actually expected behavior. If you want to discuss that further, open a new issue. :)

Awesome, thanks :)
