`yalc add` on Mac can (rarely) fail with ENOTDIR invalid cwd, treating .DS_Store as a version directory. about yalc HOT 4 OPEN

I think I've figured it out - I can replicate it by causing a yalc package directory to have a .DS_Store file with a creation date more recent than any of the version directories.

Example replication steps (on a Mac):

• yalc add some package - it works
• Delete the .DS_Store file in that package's directory of version directories
• Regenerate it (for example, Get Info, then tick and untick "Locked")
• yalc add the same package again - this time, it fails on trying to cd into .DS_store.

So it looks like the problem is, the function yalc add uses to find the latest version is just taking all the contents of the directory, getting the most recent, and assuming it's a version directory. 99% of the time this works fine, but if for whatever reason some system file like .DS_Store comes to be the most recent item in the directory, this crash happens.

Suggested fix: filter the array of directory contents to be only directories before finding the newest and cding into it.

@AlanSl Did you find a workaround for this issue?

Not really. It might be possible to work around by forcing the version folders to have a more recent created date than .DS_Store, e.g. by deleting the published versions then yalc publish again?

Yeah, it might work but it feels like it's going to be cumbersome and unstable...
Im wondering if there is a fork addressing this.
