workdir with ~ ends up in current folder about go-fuzz HOT 5 CLOSED

afaik the tilde should be expanded by the shell before being passed to the program, so I don't think this is a go-fuzz problem.

from go-fuzz.

I can reproduce this both with zsh (see version above), and Bash:

 bash --version

I use tilde in many other apps without any issues.

The problem is shell tilde expansion only works if the tilde is the first character of an argument, so either use -workdir ~/png-fuzz or -workdir=$HOME/png-fuzz

OK, that makes sense - but the reason I opened up this issue was for someone to fix the README - so people who come after me don't have to look for the files ... and then do stupid things like rm -r ~ to clean up (I didn't do that ... and I'm not sure it does what it says :-)).

Changed ~ to $HOME.
Thanks
