`renameFile` will raise the exception InappropriateType if “Either path
refers to an existing directory”. `renamePath` needs to be used if the
first argument may also be a directory as the documentation of `mv`
indicates. `renamePath` is available since 1.2.7.0 which is older than
the minimum version turtle requires.
Current symptoms:
ghci> import Turtle
ghci> mkdir "foo"
ghci> mv "foo" "lol"
*** Exception: foo: renameFile: inappropriate type (is a directory)
I discovered this while debugging
purescript/spago-legacy#4. I do not know
whether directory was less strict at some point in the past (seems like
it).
