[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51388] Current directory does not change immediatly with "cd" on some systems

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #31, bug #51388 (project octave):

Thank you, Andrey. Together with your results from your latest tests in bug
#51203, it looks like "cd" is working as expected. There might still be a
small chance that something is off when calling "cd" just before spawning a
sub-process with "system".
Can you run the following script and report whether it gives any output for
you?

d1='C:\05octave\1';
d2='C:\05octave\2';

for i = 1:200
  cd (d1)
  [~, scd] = system ("cd");
  while ~strncmpi (d1, scd, length(d1))
    warning ('bug triggered');
    cd (d1)
  endwhile
  cd (d2)
  [~, scd] = system ("cd");
  while ~strncmpi (d2, scd, length(d2))
    warning ('bug triggered');
    cd (d2)
  endwhile
endfor
