rahul78451 · rahul78451 · commit ff78500607eb · 2026-03-20T15:08:59.000+05:30
- Add NormalizeErrorMessage helper for cross-platform error comparison
- Skip chmod-based permission tests on Windows
- Skip symlink tests requiring elevated privileges
- Skip file watcher tests with platform-specific behavior
- Skip wildcard filename tests not supported on Windows
- Fix file lock issues in badger and writer tests
