Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue here on a clean, current 4.2-dev without this PR. I don't get an empty error message when trying to upload a folder. I get a message "No Install Type Found". I've tried an empty folder and a folder with one empty file and also a folder with files and subfolders. In all cases the same result. What am I doing wrong?

P.S. The message I get is of type information or has no type. It has blue background.

[brianteeman]

were you using drag and drop?

[richard67]

were you using drag and drop?

Yes, was on administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=install and dragged the folder from my Windows 10 Desktop into the drop area of that page.

[richard67]

After I've dropped the folder, it shows "Uploading 0%" or something like that for a while, and then:

Client (browser) is Windows, and the webserver is Linux.

[richard67]

What a pity because I think this PR is right now, and I wanted to test it with success, only I can't reproduce the issue.

Maybe some OS specific, I have "empty error" as in description, when doing "folder drag and drop" in Linux in Chrome

recorded on windows 11

Before

[richard67]

Hmm, no, same result when I use Firefox on my Linux server directly.

[richard67]

@pearlpriyanka Did you have your issue #37575 with Windows 11 as client OS where the browser was used?

[richard67]

Hmm, anyway, I believe you guys of course, no need for a video or animated gif. I just can't reproduce it here and would like to know why.

Thank you. As for the discussion of which mime-types to check, that can be a separate issue.
