Prerequisites
Steps to reproduce
Create 2 links and 1 file:
touch foo
ln -s bar foo
ln -s baz bar
so you have baz -> bar -> foo
I used the following Cmdlet to exemplify the error:
using System.Management.Automation; // Windows PowerShell assembly.
using Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands;
namespace SendGreeting
{
[Cmdlet(VerbsCommunications.Send, "Greeting")]
public class SendGreetingCommand : Cmdlet
{
protected override void ProcessRecord()
{
WriteObject("Hello " + name + "!!");
string fileName = FileSystemProvider.NameString(new PSObject(new System.IO.FileInfo("/home/user/baz")));
WriteObject(fileName);
}
}
}Import-Module /home/user/Cmdlet/bin/Debug/net5.0/Cmdlet.dll
Send-Greeting
Expected behavior

This differs with Windows and also seems to differ when realpath fails since it fallsback to readlink:
