_______________________________________________________
Details:
This should succeed (albeit with the warning) rather than fail, since -depth
is a valid expression. Likewise to all the other expression options, if \(
and \) are separated by any valid expression, even if it is not a test, find
should correctly parse the command line.
Buggy:
$ find \( -depth \)
find/find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option
argument (, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests specified
before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options
before other arguments.
find/find: invalid expression; you have too many ')'
Expected:
$ find -depth \( -true \)
./Entries
./Entries.Log
./Repository
./Root
./Template
.
$ find -depth \( -depth \)
find/find: warning: you have specified the -depth option after a non-option
argument (, but options are not positional (-depth affects tests specified
before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options
before other arguments.
./Entries
./Entries.Log
./Repository
./Root
./Template
.
