'love ..' fails

BlackBulletIV · Post by **BlackBulletIV** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 10:46 pm

When I run

love ..

from a sub-folder of my game it gives the "No code to run" error. The parent folder is quite obviously valid because

cd .. && love .

works fine.

Why doesn't LOVE support the use of '..', but does support '.'?

Note that these also give the same result:

love ../
love ../.. # sub-sub-folder :P

Which operating system?

I think it has something to do with .. breaking out of the save dir...

Ah, so LOVE doesn't check whether the '..' is breaking out, it just sees '..' and thinks it's dangerous.

Isn't this related to the problem with "love ."?

love .. doesn't work on Linux either. I think it's cross-platform.

I think this is the one. It's been long fixed, though.

Ah ok.
