Description Mark Macdonald

1. Launch orion Node server
2. Open a file in the editor
3. Rename the parent project

The editor remains open on the old file URL, even though it's been renamed. I expected it to reopen the file at its new URL.

This is caused by an inconsistency in the Parents array's Locations versus the Location field on an individual Directory. The latter has a trailing slash, but the former does not.

// Metadata of /file/SomeToplevelFolder/foo.js?parts=meta:
> Parents: [
>  { Location: "/file/SomeToplevelFolder", Name: "SomeToplevelFolder" }
                                        ^ no slash
> ]

// Metadata of /file/SomeTopLevelFolder?parts=meta
> { Location: "/file/SomeToplevelFolder/", Name: "SomeToplevelFolder", Directory: true }
                                       ^ slash

The client expect these to be exactly the same, or else it can't tell that an ancestor of the file being edited was renamed.
