Are there return value examples for versions 7.1.6 and 10 glob.sync about node-glob HOT 4 CLOSED

What do you mean by "return value format"? It should always be an array of strings, unless you specify { withFileTypes: true } in the options.

If you are saying that the order of the returned results is inconsistent, then yes, that is true. It's dependent on the order in which the operating system returns values from the directory read() operation, which is nondeterministic.

If you want the results to be sorted, you can globSync(...).sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b, 'en')).

sorry, the problem I just described is wrong, version 10 of glob.sync does not return the same result every time. But I used glob.sync 7.1.6 to return the same result every time. So I'm not sure if it's an OS issue or a version issue

Do you have an example you can share where globSync returns different results each time? That should definitely not happen, unless the file system changes while the search is being performed.

I've tried reproducing this with a variety of patterns in the benchmark fixtures used by this project, and can't find a case where globSync produces different results between runs. Different order of results, yes, but the same results are returned every time.

Happy to re-open if a reproduction case can be provided, otherwise closing to remove it from my todo list.
