This just disables the real OS test for macOS - if it doesn't pass in the real fs, it it is probably not the correct fix. I'm not yet convinced that the behavior is wrong anyway.

You’re right, disabling the real-fs test was wrong. It hid the fact that my change made wildcard matching case-insensitive, which real pathlib doesn’t do on macOS.
I’ve removed that line, so test_glob_case_posix runs against the real filesystem on macOS again, and it passes with the reworked fix.
On whether the behavior is wrong: I checked on a real macOS filesystem (Python 3.14.8). There, Path.glob("b.txt") finds B.TXT, because CPython looks up literal pattern parts in the filesystem, while glob("*.txt") doesn’t match it. pyfakefs under macOS simulation currently returns nothing for glob("b.txt"), so it differs from the real OS for literal patterns only. The new tests check this against both the real and the fake filesystem, and they pass on both.

So what has changed in the glob implementation in Python 3.14? I didn't find anything in the documentation.
Also again, this only tests the fake fs.

Correction: the literal lookup has existed since 3.13 (case_pedantic=False when case_sensitive isn't given). What changed in 3.14 is the default detection: it checks self.parser is posixpath, which is false for the fake module. pyfakefs therefore overrides glob() for 3.14 and passed case_sensitive=True, which also disabled the literal lookup, so the problem only shows up in 3.14. The fix follows the default code path when no argument is given.
I removed the fake-only test class; the new tests now run against both the fake and the real fs.

Thanks - that sounds good! I will have a closer look hopefully at the weekend, a bit full at the moment (and also caught a cold).

Thanks for taking the time to investigate this! That explains why I haven't seen the issue, but is also a quite unexpected behavior. I've thought about how to handle this in a cleaner way, but didn't come up with anything really better, so your fix seems fine to me.
Since Python 3.13, Path.glob() without an explicit case_sensitive argument matches wildcard parts case-sensitively under Posix, but checks literal pattern parts by looking them up in the filesystem (case_pedantic=False), so they are found in a case-insensitive filesystem like macOS.
Python 3.13.16 and 3.14.8 changed os.path.realpath under Windows to use abspath() for relative paths (CPython gh-102475, also in 3.15.1). A path relative to a drive other than the current one is now resolved against the root of that drive, e.g. "x:test" becomes "X:\test". This made test_resolve_relative_windows_path_with_invalid_drive fail for the real filesystem on the current Windows CI runners. Emulate the new behavior in the fake os.path.realpath for these versions and adapt the test expectation. Signed-off-by: anshurajbisoyi98-ctrl <anshurajbisoyi98@gmail.com>

Describe the changes
Fixes #1347.
Since Python 3.13,
Path.glob()withoutcase_sensitivematches wildcards case-sensitively under Posix but looks up literal parts in the filesystem, so on macOSglob("b.txt")findsB.TXTwhileglob("*.txt")doesn't. The pyfakefs override for 3.14 always passedcase_sensitive=True, which disabled that lookup. It now follows CPython's default code path when no argument is given; explicit arguments are unchanged. The new tests run against both the fake and the real filesystem.Also adapts the fake
os.path.realpath()to Python 3.13.16/3.14.8 (CPython gh-102475): under Windows, a path relative to another drive now resolves against that drive's root (x:test->X:\test), which madetest_resolve_relative_windows_path_with_invalid_drivefail on the current Windows runners.Tasks
