How about we move this to common.isBrokenLink(nameOfPossibleLink)? This is something I wanted for #835 anyway (and it makes more sense in common than utils). Some ideas for the behavior:

isBrokenLink(pointsToMissingFile)       === true
isBrokenLink(realRegularFile)           // throws an exception
isBrokenLink(someDirectory)             // throws an exception
isBrokenLink(doesNotExist)              // throws an exception
isBrokenLink(pointsToFileOrDirectory)   === false
isBrokenLink(pointsToAnotherBrokenLink) === true // `ls` highlights this just like other broken links

WDYT?

Hmm, was this behavior ever correct with ln -s?

$ ls this-does-not-exist
ls: cannot access 'this-does-not-exist': No such file or directory
$ rm bad-link
$ ln -s this-does-not-exist bad-link
$ ls bad-link # it's highlighted link a broken link
bad-link

I think, long term, the correct logic is if (!resolvedSourceExists && !options.symlink). I wonder if this would be too big of a change (@freitagbr , what do you think?).

@loilo which bug does this address?

common.error('Source file does not exist', { continue: true });
} else if (isWindows && common.statFollowLinks(resolvedSourcePath).isDirectory()) {
linkType = 'junction';

Can we turn this into a real assertion? This would be a good use of common.isBrokenLink().

optional: you could assert the precondition (that this link is in fact a dead link). I'd be fine with t.falsy(fs.existsSync('badlink')).

const result = shell.ln('-sf', 'file1.txt', 'badlink');
t.is(result.code, 0);
t.falsy(result.stderr);
t.falsy(shell.error());
t.is(
fs.readFileSync('file1.txt').toString(),
fs.readFileSync('badlink').toString()
);
});

utils.skipOnWinForEPERM(shell.ln.bind(shell, '-sf', 'file1', path.resolve(`${t.context.tmp}/abspath`)), () => {
t.truthy(fs.existsSync(`${t.context.tmp}/abspath`));
