Describe the bug

We have all our uploads in the root folder. The DB looks something like this. This project was updated from v3 to v4 before.

When we use v.4.11.1 everything works well. We upgraded to v4.11.4 today and the Media Library is empty. All linked images in the content are still visible.

I debugged the problem down to node_modules/@strapi/plugin-upload/server/controllers/admin-file.js around line 29. When looking at the query filters, they changed between versions.

v.4.11.1:

v4.11.4:

I think from the query filters you can see the problem. Was this an intended change? Is there some note on this breaking change?

No I can't i find them really hard to read 😅

Can I clarify the bug youre experience is you viewing the media in the admin panel? If so where? Is this a UI bug etc. I think your description could be a bit more verbose – that would really help :)

Hi @joshuaellis

Sorry for that :D Yes, I am talking about the Admin UI. The "Media Library" there is empty after the update. I just followed the api calls from there, which led me to node_modules/@strapi/plugin-upload/server/controllers/admin-file.js

Cool, looking at your screenshot none of your media assets have folderPath which if they're all at the root of the project should just have the string '/' i believe... CC @Marc-Roig ?

[Marc-Roig]

@joshuaellis we might not have had any migration to migrate empty folderPath columns to / , so people upgrading might have this issue. I believe we will have to update the filter path to look for / and null values, or revert it to what we had before.

Thanks @Marc-Roig i'd like to avoid reverting because it causes performance issues in the BE.

@vandres two questions:

• do you use media folders at the moment?
• and if you do, do any of your assets have a folderPath?
