[Nano-devel] Fwd: [PATCH] support globs in include paths

[Ντέντος Σταύρος]

Hello,

I read the patch applied at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2014-03/msg00080.html

However, I have an corner case:
What happens if, while applying a "standard" configuration, the glob
returns nothing?

# ls -lah .nano/*.nanorc
ls: cannot access '.nano/*.nanorc': No such file or directory
# ls -lah .nano
total 8.0K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Nov 13 16:52 .
drwx--x--x 23 root root 4.0K Nov 13 19:13 ..
# nano -V
GNU nano, version 2.5.3
(C) 1999..2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Email: ***@nano-editor.org Web: http://www.nano-editor.org/
Compiled options: --disable-libmagic --disable-wrapping-as-root
--enable-utf

Can this be an error that doesn't stop execution?

Nothing happens. Nano will read zero syntax files, so nothing
will get colored in any file.

The error does not stop execution. Or do you mean that nano waits
and asks to press Return? More recent nanos don't wait and ask that
question any more. So, you may want to build and install 3.2.

(The error message, though, is a bit silly: Error expanding ...: Success.
That could be improved.)
