Hi all, I've been looking into Bugzilla 56149. There is a named pipe scanned by DirectoryScanner and DS seems to treat it like a directory.
The reporter of the bug confirmed File.isFile and File.isDirectory both return false for the named pipe so this is something we can detect and something DirectoryScanner doesn't expext. isFile is expected to be the opposite of isDirectory in a few places. I think it would be easy to add guards to only treat files as files and dirs as dirs, the question is what to do with File objects that are neither. Drop them? Treat them as files? Add another user-controlled option? They seem to be rare creatures and in the context of issue 56149 "just drop them" would probably be the sanest choice.
