David Arthur commented on KAFKA-4566:
-------------------------------------
As [~cmccabe] mentioned here
[https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/17326#issuecomment-2392107930,] MacOS
didn't support readlink until 12.3. Since MacOS 12 is still technically
supported, we should wait a bit for committing that change.
I've updated this ticket for a 4.1 release since MacOS 12 will be EoL by then.
> Can't Symlink to Kafka bins
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4566
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4566
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1
> Reporter: Stephane Maarek
> Assignee: Akhilesh Naidu
> Priority: Major
> Labels: newbie
> Fix For: 4.1.0
>
>
> in the kafka consumer for example, the last line is :
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh#L21
> {code}
> exec $(dirname $0)/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer "$@"
> {code}
> if I create a symlink using
> {code}
> ln -s
> {code}
> it doesn't resolve the right directory name because of $(dirname $0)
> I believe the right way is to do:
> {code}
> "$(dirname "$(readlink -e "$0")")"
> {code}
>
> Any thoughts on that before I do a PR?
