Description

When iterating over the WalkDir dictionary in Windows 10, rust stable 1.36, if the user does not have permission to read a directory, an error is given, but not the actual path. When hitting an error with files, the path in the error is displayed but not with directories for some reason:

Error on entry 'Err(Error { depth: 2, inner: Io { path: None, err: Os { code: 5, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Access is denied." } } })': Error { depth: 2, inner: Io { path: None, err: Os { code: 5, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Access is denied." } } }

    for entry in WalkDir::new(some_path){
        prepath = match &entry {
            Ok(path) => { 
                path
            }
            Err(err) => {
                println!("Error on entry '{:?}': {:?}", entry, err);             
                continue
            }
        };
