# aws s3 ls returns unexpected results in Tigris

I ran into some unexpected behavior that might be a bug with Tigris.

I’ve been uploading files to a bucket in Tigris using Elixir and then using the AWS CLI to validate that the files were uploaded successfully. As you know, when you run `aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path/` you have to include the trailing slash to have the AWS CLI expand that “directory” and show its contents.

**Typical behavior**

```
# without trailing slash
aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path
         PRE path/

# with trailing slash
aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path/
file1.json
file2.json
...
file10.json
```

This is typically how it works for me with Tigris as well, but I have a case where running `aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path` without the trailing slash instead shows the first item in that path. Then if I run it again with the trailing slash, I see that first file and all of the other files as well.

**Unexpected behavior**

```
# without trailing slash
aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path
file1.json

# with trailing slash
aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path/
file1.json
file2.json
...
file10.json
```

The bucket and path can be provided privately.

First off, it is great that you are using Tigris 🙂

We will investigate this issue, as the behavior between S3 and Tigris should be identical.

Could you send the bucket details to <help@tigrisdata.com>?
