fix: ignore extensions for directories when sorting

[sdht0]

Before this patch:

$ mkdir test1 test2 abc 01.city 02.apple
$ touch a.txt abc.txt abc.mp3 ab

$ eza                                       
01.city  02.apple  a.txt  ab  abc  abc.mp3  abc.txt  test1  test2

$ eza --sort=extension                      
ab  abc  test1  test2  02.apple  01.city  abc.mp3  a.txt  abc.txt

$ eza --sort=extension --group-directories-first
abc  test1  test2  02.apple  01.city  ab  abc.mp3  a.txt  abc.txt

Note how 01.city is sorted after 02.apple when sorting by extension.

After patch:

$ eza --sort=extension
01.city  02.apple  ab  abc  test1  test2  abc.mp3  a.txt  abc.txt

$ eza --sort=extension --group-directories-first
01.city  02.apple  abc  test1  test2  ab  abc.mp3  a.txt  abc.txt

Directories are treated exactly as if there are no . was found in the name.

Closes #821

Indeed, it makes a lot of sense to change the behavior this way!

[ariasuni]

Hum now that I think of it, it would be great to have some tests for this behavior.

You can take 570b977, add it to this PR and see if it works in the CI.

[sdht0]

Thanks. Looks like more tests need to be updated?

[ariasuni]

Hum yeah, you would need to regen test (see here) and for that you need Nix. Otherwise, I or @cafkafk could regen the broken tests ourselves.

Would appreciate it!

Hey thanks for the pr, this is indeed a slight issue !!

[gierens]

Nice catch! Thanks! ... Code, functionality and performance looks good to me!

[sdht0]

@cafkafk could you give this another look?

Would be nice to get this into a release and help me remove my local nix override.

[sdht0]

Not sure what the next steps are to get this merged.

[ariasuni]

Well, we’d have to wait for @cafkafk to be available to review that but idk when that’ll be 😭

The merge-base changed after approval.

[sdht0]

Hi all. I seemed to have missed the latest comment by @cafkafk (no Github email?).

Anyway I have cherry picked my change to the latest main. I tried following the instructions to regenerate the tests. However, running powertest does not result in any change.

@ariasuni /@cafkafk: can you help regenerate the tests and get this finally merged?

[ariasuni]

Hey, you can, on Linux:

• install Nix and start it with sudo systemctl start nix-daemon or similar (I think you should enable Nix flakes also)
• install just
• install powertest with:

git clone https://github.com/eza-community/powertest
cd powertest
cargo install --path . --locked

• then I think you need to use just idump or something other command in the justfile

Otherwise somebody else has to do these steps (maybe I can do it in a few days…).
