Server 1.2.0 - Path Setting

Hi,
I try the new version of server for Windows. I noticed a bug (Please contact a developer) when I set Paths.
There was a home path in v0.9.60. But not in v1.2.0.
But it is necessary to set "/ - C:\some_folder" or the bug will appear.
It is better for me to decide whether I want a real folder as root, or only virtual unwritable root with virtual subfolders.

Well, there is a simple explanation: The root ( / ) setting IS the Home path. It's the very same, the directory you set here is the one the user starts in.

The design originally allowed for such a set up: if there's not an explicit "/" mountpoint, then an implicit one is created on the basis of the other mountpoints. However, a regression broke that.
It's now fixed and the next release will work as expected. Meanwhile, you might want to try out the nightly builds.

Thank you for the explanation.

I tried a
nightly build (sha256 ab74ececce92b726a1dbae01163796a84b4d5c57e3f0c76e69f146e020f60a07).
There is another bug (I think).
Paths are set as: "/d - d:\" and "/e - e:\" (see the picture above). It seems to work fine.
But... If I am inside subfolder, it is impossible to return back to "virtual root" (de facto just a signpost of folders).
Code: Select all
257 "/" is current directory.
...
CWD d
250 CWD command successful
PWD
257 "/d" is current directory.
...

So if i understand , in nightly builds and new version when is released, you dont have to set a / virtual path in users is mandatory ?
I think in groups you dont have to put a / virtual path is not mandatory.
Thanks

You're right, found the bug and fixed. You'll find the fix in the next nightly build.
Thanks for reporting!

Yes, the "/" virtual path is not necessary.
