Unable to get absolute uri between ex.txt and z:; Base path 'z:' must be an absolute path

[rasa]

In Windows, if I edit the file ex.txt in the root of a mapped network drive, say Z:\, I get this error:

Unable to get absolute uri between ex.txt and z:; Base path 'z:' must be an absolute path

This is because this code:

vscode-gitlens/src/system/path.ts

Lines 169 to 171 in 8d8ba96

	if (path.charCodeAt(path.length - 1) === slash) {
	path = path.slice(0, -1);
	}

is removing the trashing slash. This works for all paths except for paths in the root folder, where the trailing slash should remain. This could be fixed via:

if (path.charCodeAt(path.length - 1) === slash) { 
  // Don't remove the trailing slash on Windows root folders, such as z:\
  if (path.length != 3 || (path.length == 3 && path.charCodeAt(1)  != ':')) {
    path = path.slice(0, -1); 
  }
}

Can you please verify this fix in tomorrow's GitLens insiders edition?

You can install the GitLens insiders edition from here.

Please be sure to disable or uninstall the stable version of GitLens first.
