cquery doesnt understand relative paths in compile_commands.json about cquery HOT 5 CLOSED

i think this happens when it tries to go through symlinks - could that be the case?

from cquery.

This is the compile_commands.json generated by bear.

[
    {
        "arguments": [
            "c++",
            "-c",
            "-o",
            "a",
            "a.cc"
        ],
        "directory": "/tmp/c",
        "file": "a.cc"
    }
]

a.cc not being an absolute path makes cquery failing to parse it.

If /tmp/c/a.cc is used instead, it will work.

Another problem that gives this error, is editing a file from a symlink.
I have cquery at /opt/cquery, and a symlink at ~/Documents/Programming/cquery
If i index the files from /opt/cquery and then edit a file from the symlink, cquery doesnt follow the link, and reports a Unable to find file

from cquery.

What is the solution to this issue ("Unable to find file ****",...) ?

I have downloaded the master branch and rebuilt cquery but still getting the same issue.

Can you post a new issue with your a fragment of your compile_commands.json?

cquery may report unable to find file until parsing is done.
