gnulib-tool --local-dir=... --find ... produces error messages from 'grep'. The problem is that file names in the local dir are passed to 'grep' without that directory. This patch fixes it.
2022-08-07 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> gnulib-tool: Fix option --find in combination with option --local-dir. * gnulib-tool (func_prefixed_modules_in_dir): New function. (find): Use it, and filter the directory names away after the 'grep' pass. diff --git a/gnulib-tool b/gnulib-tool index e49d1bc8a8..028bcf36ad 100755 --- a/gnulib-tool +++ b/gnulib-tool @@ -7162,6 +7162,12 @@ case $mode in s/\[/\\[/g s/\^/\\^/g s/\([.*$]\)/[\1]/g' + # func_prefixed_modules_in_dir dir + # outputs all module files in dir to standard output, with dir as prefix. + func_prefixed_modules_in_dir () + { + (test -d "$1" && cd "$1" && find modules -type f -print | sed -e "s|^|$1/|") + } for filename do if test -f "$gnulib_dir/$filename" \ @@ -7171,7 +7177,7 @@ s/\([.*$]\)/[\1]/g' module_candidates=` { (cd "$gnulib_dir" && find modules -type f -print | xargs -n 100 grep -l "$filename_line_regex" /dev/null | sed -e 's,^modules/,,') - func_path_foreach "$local_gnulib_path" func_modules_in_dir %dir% | xargs -n 100 grep -l "$filename_anywhere_regex" /dev/null | sed -e 's,^modules/,,' -e 's,\.diff$,,' + func_path_foreach "$local_gnulib_path" func_prefixed_modules_in_dir %dir% | xargs -n 100 grep -l "$filename_anywhere_regex" /dev/null | sed -e 's,^.*/modules/,,' -e 's,\.diff$,,' } \ | func_sanitize_modulelist \ | LC_ALL=C sort -u
