Error on the commands 'cp', 'mv', 'rm', and 'open' on files that have [ ] on its path #9310
Description
Describe the bug
nushell is able to find the file test[].txt:
nu❯ ls
╭───┬────────────┬──────┬──────┬───────────────╮
│ # │ name │ type │ size │ modified │
├───┼────────────┼──────┼──────┼───────────────┤
│ 0 │ test.txt │ file │ 13 B │ 9 minutes ago │
│ 1 │ test[].txt │ file │ 13 B │ 9 minutes ago │
╰───┴────────────┴──────┴──────┴───────────────╯
nu❯ ls | get name | path exists
╭───┬──────╮
│ 0 │ true │
│ 1 │ true │
╰───┴──────╯
but is not able to open it:
nu❯ open test[].txt
Error:
× Error extracting glob pattern
╭─[entry #21:1:1]
1 │ open test[].txt
· ──┬─
· ╰── Pattern syntax error near position 40: invalid range pattern
╰────
if I try to open the file without [ ] it works just fine:
nu❯ open test.txt
lorem ipsum
using any kind of quotes does not help (", ', `)
nu✗ open `test[].txt`
Error:
× Error extracting glob pattern
╭─[entry #27:1:1]
1 │ open `test[].txt`
· ──┬─
· ╰── Pattern syntax error near position 40: invalid range pattern
╰────
the cp, and rm commands exhibits the same error
nu✗ rm 'test[].txt'
Error:
× Pattern syntax error near position 40: invalid range pattern
╭─[entry #31:1:1]
1 │ rm 'test[].txt'
· ──────┬─────
· ╰── Pattern syntax error near position 40: invalid range pattern
╰────
but the mv command has a different error message:
nu✗ mv 'test[].txt' 'test2.txt'
Error:
× File(s) not found
╭─[entry #33:1:1]
1 │ mv 'test[].txt' 'test2.txt'
· ──────┬─────
· ╰── could not find any files matching this glob pattern
╰────
the same happens if the [ ] is in the directory name:
nu✗ ls **/*
╭───┬───────────────────┬──────┬──────┬────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ type │ size │ modified │
├───┼───────────────────┼──────┼──────┼────────────────┤
│ 0 │ test.txt │ file │ 13 B │ 40 minutes ago │
│ 1 │ test[] │ dir │ 36 B │ 11 seconds ago │
│ 2 │ test[]/test.txt │ file │ 13 B │ 40 minutes ago │
│ 3 │ test[]/test[].txt │ file │ 13 B │ 40 minutes ago │
│ 4 │ test[].txt │ file │ 13 B │ 40 minutes ago │
╰───┴───────────────────┴──────┴──────┴────────────────╯
nu❯ ls **/* | get name | get 2 | open
Error:
× Error extracting glob pattern
╭─[entry #52:1:1]
1 │ ls **/* | get name | get 2 | open
· ──┬─
· ╰── Pattern syntax error near position 40: invalid range pattern
╰────
nu✗ open `test[]/test.txt`
Error:
× Error extracting glob pattern
╭─[entry #54:1:1]
1 │ open `test[]/test.txt`
· ──┬─
· ╰── Pattern syntax error near position 40: invalid range pattern
╰────
I did also try to see if the issue also happens with () and {} and it didn`t.
How to reproduce
try to open a file that has [] in its name.
Expected behavior
the file to be opened if it is quoted or been passed as a string from a pipe.
