fs.renameSync reports that source does not exist when destination does not exist

[FabianFrank]

Here, we use a 3 level relative path and our source clearly exists:

frankfa@palmtree:~/tmp/rename (1) $ nvm use v0.10.12
Now using node v0.10.12
frankfa@palmtree:~/tmp/rename (0) $
frankfa@palmtree:~/tmp/rename (0) $ rm -rf a && mkdir A && node
> var fs=require('fs'); fs.renameSync('A', 'a/b/c');
Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'A'
    at Object.fs.renameSync (fs.js:543:18)
    at repl:1:26
    at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:110:21)
    at repl.js:249:20
    at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:122:7)
    at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:239:12)
    at Interface.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17)
    at Interface._onLine (readline.js:202:10)
    at Interface._line (readline.js:531:8)
    at Interface._ttyWrite (readline.js:760:14)

If we use a 2 level paths, it also gets quite weird:

> var fs=require('fs'); fs.renameSync('A', 'a/b');
Error: EINVAL, invalid argument 'A'
    at Object.fs.renameSync (fs.js:543:18)
    at repl:1:26
    at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:110:21)
    at repl.js:249:20
    at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:122:7)
    at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:239:12)
    at Interface.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17)
    at Interface._onLine (readline.js:202:10)
    at Interface._line (readline.js:531:8)
    at Interface._ttyWrite (readline.js:760:14)

And now for bonus points, 3 levels

> var fs=require('fs'); fs.renameSync('A', 'a/b/c/d');
Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'A'
    at Object.fs.renameSync (fs.js:543:18)

    at repl.js:249:20

    at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:239:12)

    at Interface._onLine (readline.js:202:10)
    at Interface._line (readline.js:531:8)
    at Interface._ttyWrite (readline.js:760:14)

If the destination exists, we are good

> var fs=require('fs'); fs.renameSync('A', 'a');
undefined

ahh pretty sure I've run into this, what a night mare bug lol

[indutny]

Have you tried the latest v0.10 node?

[thomasdavis]

Will do, spent about 3 hours on this bug before finding the same result as OP.
