For what it's worth I also think it should return a sorted array, because: - Pretty much any rubyist I know have been been bitten by this at least once. - Many experienced rubyist end up always writing `Dir[patten].sort` - It's particularly prevalent because the "develop on OSX, deploy on Linux" combo is very popular. If the performance impact is a concern, I think an extra keyword argument could be added: `glob( pattern, [flags], [base: path], [sort: true] )`, this way you can avoid the performance impact if you know that you don't need it. ---------------------------------------- Feature #8709: Dir.glob should return sorted file list https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8709#change-83820 * Author: tommorris (Tom Morris) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- On OS X, Dir.glob and Dir[] return an ordered list of files. On Ubuntu Linux, they do not and one must manually sort them. Returning a list of files that isn't in order fails the Principle of Least Astonishment. I attach a unit test to demonstrate ideal behaviour. ---Files-------------------------------- globtest.rb (454 Bytes) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
