Previously, -literalpath given a wildcard will treat it the same as -path and if the wildcard found no files, it would silently exit. Correct behavior should be that -literalpath is literal so if the file doesn't exist, it should error. Fix is to also see if wildcard is being suppressed.

Also re-enabled and fixed some tests that were skipped incorrectly (should have been pending) since the issue was addressed.

Fix #5057

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!
