check the existence of a path

[P-A-C]

I would like to know, if I create a path on permissions and after I do a check on this path with a false child permissions that does not exist, will it return me an error or will it return to me the parent role (that I have)?
example:
"office / desk / computer" the computer does not exist.
If I check "office / desk / computer "will return true if I have 'office/desk' ?

As far as I remember it will return false. It should be easy to test though. A non-existent child is not a child of anyone. Paths are simply translated to hierarchies before being tested.

yes, but wouldn't it be interesting to have this kind of possibility?
If you check a path and the last argument of this path doesn't exist, but the parent permission does
that the exception is not thrown.
It may only interest me, but I would like to share with you.

It shouldn't be hard to implement something like that. Instead of checking from child to root, you can check root to child.

I totally agree.
I'll try to do that.

As far as I remember, currently the path to ID conversion is done using some magical optimized MySQL query, which uses group_concat to make only one query to find the parent and all the children. That's why it needs to be exact. If you change that into a series of queries that retrieve the hierarchy, you can easily add leniency. You can also try to work this into that magic query somehow!
