The problem here is that GLib.Process.spawn_async automatically prepends
the current working directory to any args string specified which begins
with '~'. I have tried all possible solutions with the below tiny vala
app and have failed.
using GLib.Process;
static void main()
{
Process.spawn_async(null, {"nautilus", "~"}, null, SpawnFlags.SEARCH_PATH,
null, null);
}
We could manually check before the call to spawn_async and replace all
args strings beginning with ~, with the home directory itself. This will
be more of a workaround than a fix. No SpawnFlags are there to avoid
GLib from the substitution, so this seems to be the only solution.
