Josh Soref commented on CB-5347:
--------------------------------
If the link is valid, then it goes through the path before it:
if (fs.existsSync(download_dir)) {
events.emit('verbose', id + ' library for "' + platform + '"
already exists. No need to download. Continuing.');
return Q(download_dir);
So, we'd only call read link (and get data) if you can't access the folder.
