Fixes wintercms/winter#1533 (filed there since issues are disabled on this repo).

FileDatasource::getAvailablePaths() builds its RecursiveDirectoryIterator without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, so RecursiveDirectoryIterator::hasChildren() treats a symlinked directory as a leaf and everything beneath it is skipped. This breaks zero-downtime deploy layouts (Forge/Envoyer-style) where a theme's content/meta directories are symlinks into a shared folder — a child theme (anything with parent: in theme.yaml) resolves through AutoDatasource, which feeds off this method, so it sees no static pages at all and every Pages URL 404s. Parent themes are unaffected because select()/selectOne() open the target path directly rather than walking through it, so the bug only shows up on the auto-datasource path-cache side.

Added the flag (keeping the two default flags explicit alongside it, since passing any explicit flags value overrides the constructor's defaults) and a regression test with a real symlinked directory. Left select()'s own iterator as-is — giving it the same flag surfaces a separate, pre-existing path-validation check (makeDirectoryPath()'s "must resolve within basePath" guard) that legitimately rejects reads through a symlink, so fixing that would be a different, bigger change than this issue asks for.

Ran the full FileDatasourceTest suite plus phpcs against the changed files.

Used AI assistance (Claude) to investigate and write this fix.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

FileDatasource::getAvailablePaths() now configures RecursiveDirectoryIterator with explicit pathname keys, file-info values, and FOLLOW_SYMLINKS. This allows path discovery to include files inside symlinked directories. A regression test creates a symlinked directory, places a file in its target, and verifies that the linked file appears in the available paths.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a1300

The change enables discovery of files under symlinked datasource directories and includes regression coverage. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the traversal does not use the repository-preferred Symfony Finder implementation.

Add FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS to the iterator flags.

RecursiveDirectoryIterator yields . and .. when explicit flags omit this flag. getAvailablePaths() currently discards these directory entries, so the file list is unaffected. Include the flag to avoid passing dot entries through the loop and keep traversal behavior explicit.

Use Symfony Finder for file discovery. getAvailablePaths() manually composes recursive iterators and filters entries, contrary to the repository guideline. Replace this traversal with Symfony Finder while preserving symlink following and relative-path output.
