D:\ drive and custom path cannot be selected in server UI #548

Closed

Description

@ethernidee

Version

0.8.1

Platform

Windows (x64)

Install channel

GitHub release archive / install.sh / install.ps1

Binary variant

ui

What happened, and what did you expect?

The UI project directory selection dialog:

  1. Does not allow to write custom path.
  2. Does not show all available drives on Windows, when selecting "/" (root).

Thus it's not possible to select project directory in UI mode at all.

Reproduction

Try to select D:\ drive path on server UI page on Windows or try to enter arbitrary path in GUI directory selection dialog.

    This issue now has a first-class, durable reproduction in the cumulative bug-reproduction suite landing in #667 — a test that pins the exact failing behaviour, so it's tracked and guarded against silent regression. Where #667 also lands the root-cause fix, that's called out in the PR; otherwise the reproduction makes the eventual fix straightforward and verifiable.

    The reproduction goes live once #667 merges. (Posted from the release branch's QA pass.)

    Fixed on main (drive/root selection now served via the roots API — GetLogicalDrives + append_roots_json in http_server.c) and now covered by a green Windows regression guard, tests/windows/test_ui_drive_listing.py (added in #639, passing on Windows CI). Closing.
