getinfo() not implemented about hiddenswitch HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you for your report.

1- I'm not sure I understand why the double slash in the path is an issue since paths "x/y" and "x//y" are interpreted the same way.

2- I didn't know there was such a dokuwiki standard for lowercase plugin name. I'll study it.

Double slash isn't an issue, but POSIX says

"... A pathname that begins with two successive slashes may be interpreted in an implementation-defined manner,..."
which is means that there no 100% guarantee that it wouldn't be broken.
(well, it applys to pathnames that begining with "//" but IMHO to be safe it is better to avoid it.)

usually "//" used as resurce definition (http://, ftp://)

The primary issue that I wanted to report - come up on Unix based systems after unpacking tar archive that kept case of file names.
"base=hiddenSwitch" but in fact plugin unpacked to "hiddenswitch".
In this case, Dokuwiki can't find "plugin.info.txt" because "hiddenSwitch" and "hiddenswitch" on Unix based file systems are different pathnames.

As about Dokuwiki standard for lower/upper/case filenames - I don't remember where I learned this but I remember it for sure that Dokuwiki use lower case file/directory names to keep portability between file systems which could be case-sensitive and case-insensitive systems.

While I have occasion, I want to say you - Thank you for the plugin

1- Ok, I understand what you mean regarding the double / in paths. Maybe you'd rather open a bugtrack to the project dokuwiki itself since the incriminated piece of code belongs here.

2- I have a better understanding of what you mean: the plugin name and the directory should have the same case.
The issue however, is that I don't understand why you have a lowercased directory: when I download the .tar.gz directly with my browser on https://github.com/gturri/hiddenSwitch/archive/master.tar.gz, or when I give this link to the plugin manager, I get a 'hiddenSwith' directory, therefore I don't have any getinfo() issue.
(And in particular I'm afraid it might break if I change the plugin name to a lowercased one in this case)

More precisely: how do you have such a lowercased directory?

Closing the issue since I can't reproduce the issue, and the last comment is 1 year old.
