I was taking servo for a spin, my cwd was the servo build dir, and I tried to
point it to a file on my desktop, like so:
./servo ~/Desktop/css-selectors.html
This results in a blank page because the path generated internally is:
file:/Users/josh/src/mozilla/bdaehlie-servo/build/Users/josh/Desktop/css-selectors.html
This is because the following code runs on the command line input:
for opts.urls.each |filename| {
let url = make_url(copy *filename, None);
See the following comment for make_url:
/**
Create a URL object from a string. Does various helpful browsery things like
* If there's no current url and the path looks like a file then it will
create a file url based of the current working directory
* If there's a current url and the new path is relative then the new url
is based off the current url
*/
Is there a reason the file path is considered relative by default for servo's
command line? It's unexpected and there is no indication that the path isn't
valid, I just get a white rect rendered.
Happy to fix this if the current behavior isn't intentional.
