[erlang-bugs] Problem with -pa and code:priv_dir

[Loïc Hoguin]

Hello,

I can't seem to be able to log in with Github to bugs.erlang.org, I get 
this:

OpenID Failed
Github returned 'redirect_uri_mismatch, The redirect_uri MUST match the 
registered callback URL for this application., 
https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#redirect-uri-mismatch, 
05ff145b-bfa8-4152-88a0-b4cce9de3d48' which suggests an invalid 
configuration, please check if Client ID and Client Secret match with 
those offered by Github.

So I am posting this issue here instead:

I run into an issue when using -pa and code:priv_dir/1 with Erlang 19.0. 
An example is worth a thousand words:

$ erl -pa ./test_c_src_nif/ebin
Erlang/OTP 19 [erts-8.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] 
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V8.0  (abort with ^G)
1> code:priv_dir(test_c_src_nif).
"./test_c_src_nif/priv"

$ erl -pa test_c_src_nif/ebin
Erlang/OTP 19 [erts-8.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] 
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V8.0  (abort with ^G)
1> code:priv_dir(test_c_src_nif).
"test_c_src_nif/ebin/priv"

Considering -pa takes paths I'd expect them to be resolved the same with 
or without the dot segment.

Cheers,
