[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #49, bug #31080 (project octave):

this bug is still present in octave 8.0.1 (hg id: 24bd675bceab)

testing on a ntfs local ssd in windows 10:


>> cd d:
>> edit newtestfile (create a new script file and save it)
>> newtestfile
error: 'newtestfile' undefined near line 1, column 1
>> ls -l

also, trying Markus's stat test, things behave fine in a subfolder:


>> cd temp
>> dir
.   ..
>> stat('.')
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dev = 3
    ino = 0
    mode = 16895
    modestr = drwxrwxrwx
    nlink = 1
    uid = 0
    gid = 0
    rdev = 3
    size = 0
    atime = 1670543181
    mtime = 1641824642
    ctime = 1590511359
    blksize = NaN
    blocks = NaN

>> fclose(fopen('testfile.m','w'))
ans = 0
>> stat('.')
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dev = 3
    ino = 0
    mode = 16895
    modestr = drwxrwxrwx
    nlink = 1
    uid = 0
    gid = 0
    rdev = 3
    size = 0
    atime = 1670543207
    mtime = 1670543207
    ctime = 1590511359
    blksize = NaN
    blocks = NaN


but in the root of the drive:


>> stat('.')
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dev = 3
    ino = 0
    mode = 16895
    modestr = drwxrwxrwx
    nlink = 1
    uid = 0
    gid = 0
    rdev = 3
    size = 0
    atime = 315550800
    mtime = 315550800
    ctime = 315550800
    blksize = NaN
    blocks = NaN

>> fclose(fopen('testfile.m','w'))
ans = 0
>> stat('.')
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dev = 3
    ino = 0
    mode = 16895
    modestr = drwxrwxrwx
    nlink = 1
    uid = 0
    gid = 0
    rdev = 3
    size = 0
    atime = 315550800
    mtime = 315550800
    ctime = 315550800
    blksize = NaN
    blocks = NaN

are those time values normal in a root folder?
