fix: use realpath for building path of bin-file

[baymer]

if use virtual-store outside of node_modules and node_modules outside of build dir, bin path can be broke

for example we have this hypothetical structure

~/Projects/app/node_modules -> ~/.cache/modules/app/node_modules

~/.cache/modules/app/node_modules/eslint -> ~/.cache/vstore/app/eslint@8.56.0/node_modules/eslint

~/.cache/modules/app/node_modules/.bin/eslint =>
$0 => node_modules/.bin/eslint
basedir => node_modules/.bin
...
node  "node_modules/.bin/../../../../vstore/app/eslint@8.56.0/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js"

=> error, module not found

module not found, because path is incorrect
~/Projects/app/node_modules/.bin/../../../../vstore/app/eslint@8.56.0/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js

with realpath it will fixed

realpath $0 => ~/.cache/modules/app/node_modules/.bin/eslint
basedir => ~/.cache/modules/app/node_modules/.bin
node ~/.cache/modules/app/node_modules/.bin/../../../../vstore/app/eslint@8.56.0/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js

=> no errors

ps: we have node_modules outside of our build dir for some optimisation

is the realpath command available on all supported systems?

can this be fixed in https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/tree/main/pkg-manager/link-bins instead?

[baymer]

You are right, some system may have no realpath.
May be we can use something like this?

get_path() {
    if command -v realpath >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        realpath "$1"
    elif command -v readlink >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        # some systems has readlink, but doesn't have "-f" flag
        if readlink -f "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            readlink -f "$1"
        else
             readlink "$1"
        fi
    elif command -v perl >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        perl -e 'use Cwd "abs_path"; print abs_path(shift)' "$1"
    elif [[ $1 = /* ]]; then
        echo "$1"
    else 
        echo "$PWD/${1#./}"
    fi
}

basedir=$(dirname "$(get_path "$0" | sed -e 's,\\\\,/,g')")

or

basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\\\,/,g')")

case \`uname\` in
    *CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*)
        if command -v cygpath > /dev/null 2>&1; then
            basedir=\`cygpath -w "$basedir"\`
        fi
    ;;
    *)
      if command -v realpath >/dev/null 2>&1; then
          basedir=`realpath "$basedir"`
      elif command -v readlink >/dev/null 2>&1; then
          # some systems has the readlink, but doesn't have "-f" flag
          if readlink -f "$basedir" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
               basedir=`readlink -f "$basedir"`
          else
               basedir=`readlink "$basedir"`
          fi
      elif command -v perl >/dev/null 2>&1; then
          basedir=`perl -e 'use Cwd "abs_path"; print abs_path(shift)' "$basedir"`
      elif [[ $basedir != /* ]]; then
          basedir="$PWD/${basedir#./}"
      fi
    ;;

I think we can't, because it can broke portable resource (build+node_modules).
So we cannot calculate it in the compile time. We can calculate it only in the runtime.

[baymer]

it was made by jest --updateSnapshot command

[zkochan]

You have updated only the sh command shim. What about cmd and powershell? Also, I don't feel I am competent enough in this area, so I'd wait for opinion from other contributors.
