Auto generated ~/Library/ApplicationSupport symbolic link cause problems in APFS snapshots
Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.
- iTerm2 version:3.3.10
- OS version:10.15.5
What happened:
iTerm2 generates an ~/Library/ApplicationSupport symbolic link to "ease" script execution for scripts below ~/Library/Application Support...
This method is not "compatible" with APFS snapshots. Any file operation traversing this symbolic link in a snapshot image will be directed to the original file position!
What should have happened:
Putting the folders that should be protected by this trick into a location like ~/Library/iTerm would avoid the problem for which the symbolic link is not a good cure...
