Issue: Data Folders don't appear to discover valid data files

[michaeltlombardi]

Describe the bug

The frontMatter.data.folders setting does not appear to work.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create the folder data/tests with empty files foo.json and bar.yaml.

2. In frontmatter.json, define a data folder:

   "frontMatter.data.folders": [
     {
       "id": "Testable",
       "path": "[[workspace]]/data/tests",
       "labelField": "name",
       "schema": {
         "title": "Test Files",
         "type": "object",
         "properties": {
           "name": {
             "title": "Entry Name",
             "type": "string"
           },
           "example": {
             "title": "Example data",
             "type": "string"
           }
         }
       }
     }
   ]

3. Open the Data view on the dashboard, see that no data files are found.

Expected behavior

When I define an entry in frontMatter.data.folders, any data files in that folder are found.

Additional context

I suspect that this may be related, like #393, to the path discovery on Windows.

You bug hunter 🤓. Thanks again! It was indeed a parsing issue. You must love how VS Code uses Unix path types but returns Windows file paths.

The bug has been fixed an available to test out.

Confirmed fixed!

I'm extremely used to cross-platform software having weird edge case bugs on Windows, especially around pathing. 😅 When I worked at Puppet on the Windows team it sometimes felt like that was half of my whole job.

Now that I don't own any code for my day job (mostly) I just try to write up useful bug reports that I would've wanted when I was on the hook for fixing them. 😆
