readdirSync returns deleted folder · Issue #4760 · nodejs/node (original) (raw)

The function readdirSync returns folder that was already deleted.

steps to reproduce:

1. create empty app/view folders and go to the view folder in Windows Explorer or file manager
2. run the following script:

var fs = require('fs');
var res = [];

res.push(fs.readdirSync('app/')); // read subfolders - returns ['view'] array
res.push(fs.rmdirSync('app/view/')); // remove 'view' folder
res.push(fs.readdirSync('app/')); // read subfolders - returns ['view'] array instead of empty one

console.log(res);

expected result:

[ [ 'view' ], undefined, [] ]

actual result:

[ [ 'view' ], undefined, [ 'view' ] ]
