Bug #15267

File.basename + File.extname does not restore the original name

Description

Related to #15224, I found the case File.basename(name, '.*')+File.extname(name) == File.basename(name) is not true.

name = 'file.'
File.basename(name, '.*') #=> "name"
File.extname(name) #=> ""

Both do not contain the last dot.

basename(1) seems to result in the base name with the dot, when stripping a wildcard suffix.

$ basename name. '.*'
name.

Attached is a patch that fixes this issue. With the patch:

name = 'file.'
File.basename(name, '.*')
# => "file."
File.extname(name)
# => ""

basename(1) seems to result in the base name with the dot, when stripping a wildcard suffix.

basename(1) doesn't handle wildcard.

I think we should change File.extname instead of File.basename, as:

File.basename("name.", ".*") #=> "name"
File.extname("name.") #=> "."

We can explain File.extname as:
File.extname(x) returns what File.basename(x, ".*") removes.

Fixed File.extname at a name ending with a dot

File.extname now returns a dot string at a name ending with a dot.
