Symbolic link source item can't be found

Question

I'm trying to make an alias of a directory in a set of directories

for D in $(find * -maxdepth 0 -type d) ; do
    ln -s location/to/directory/ $D/Test2 ;
done

It looks like the link is made correctly (I can see it in my finder window), but when I double click it, I get the error The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Test2" can't be found.

Why doesn't this work? Is there a way from a bash script to make a "normal" mac alias? I have opened up the permissions, as suggested here, without any luck.

Answer 1

Use the absolute source path while creating the link. That worked for me having the same issue.
