fix(sources): resolve a relative folder path against the workspace - #113
Conversation
`FolderReader` was the only reader in this crate that ignored the workspace it
is handed — `_workspace`, with `PathBuf::from(base_path)` used verbatim. A
relative path therefore resolved against the host process's working directory,
which is whatever directory the process happened to start in. For the OpenHuman
desktop app that is the Tauri build directory, so a source configured as `docs`
looked in `.../app/src-tauri/docs`, found nothing, and failed on every sync
cycle forever for a source that could work.
Relative paths now anchor on the workspace, matching `ConversationReader`'s
`workspace.join(...)` — the in-crate precedent. Absolute paths are taken
verbatim, so every source configured today resolves exactly where it does now;
`an_absolute_path_ignores_the_workspace` pins that against a workspace sharing
no prefix with the source.
Both halves move together. `read_item` had the same `_workspace` and built its
path from the raw configured string, so fixing only `list_items` would have
been worse than the bug: the reader would walk the workspace and then read back
from the CWD, failing on every item it had just listed.
`ensure_within_base` now receives the resolved base too. It was being handed the
raw configured string while `file_path` was built from it separately; with a
relative base those canonicalise against different roots, so the containment
check was not comparing the file against the base it was actually joined onto.
The error also says where the reader looked:
folder does not exist: docs (resolved to /.../app/src-tauri/docs)
Reporting only the configured string is what made this cost a source-read and
an `lsof` of the running process to diagnose. The suffix is appended only when
the resolved path differs, so an absolute source does not echo itself.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughFolder sources now resolve relative paths against the workspace. Listing, reading, containment validation, and missing-folder errors use the resolved path. Tests cover relative and absolute path behavior. ChangesFolder source resolution
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change is mergeable with explicit follow-up: one test uses a Unix-specific absolute path and may fail on Windows, so the test fixture should use a platform-native temporary path before relying on cross-platform checks.

Use a platform-native absolute path in this test.
The release workflow targets Windows, where /nonexistent/path/xyz is not absolute because it has no drive prefix. resolve_base therefore joins it with the workspace, and the test can fail its resolved to assertion. Create a TempDir and use a missing child of tmp.path() instead.

Cross-reference: this PR is correct but it is not the reader that executes for a workspace folder sync. This one is still worth merging — it fixes the other live route, Ideally both land in the same tinymemory release so the two copies stay in step. Full topology on tinyhumansai/openhuman#5830. |

Summary
FolderReaderwas the only reader in this crate that ignored the workspace it is handed —_workspace, withPathBuf::from(base_path)used verbatim. A relative folder path therefore resolved against the host process's working directory, which is whatever directory the process happened to start in. For the OpenHuman desktop app that is the Tauri build directory, so a source configured asdocslooked in…/app/src-tauri/docs, found nothing, and failed on every sync cycle, permanently, for a source that could work.Relative paths now anchor on the workspace, matching
ConversationReader'sworkspace.join(…)— the in-crate precedent. Absolute paths are unchanged.The error also names where the reader looked:
Three things worth flagging to a reviewer, because none is visible from the one-line description:
read_itemcarried the same_workspaceand built its path from the raw configured string. Fixing onlylist_itemswould have been worse than the bug: the reader would walk the workspace and then read back from the CWD, failing on every item it had just listed.ensure_within_basewas being handed the wrong base. It received the raw configured string whilefile_pathwas built from it separately. With a relative base those canonicalise against different roots, so the containment check was not comparing the file against the base it was actually joined onto. It now receives the resolved base.Related issue

tinyhumansai/openhuman#5830— deliberately no closing keyword: a bareCloses #5830on a PR in this repo resolves against this repo's issue numbering. The OpenHuman issue is closed by hand once the fix actually reaches that app, which needs more than this merge (see below).This merge is not delivery. OpenHuman routes memory-source sync through the driver, and the driver is the loaded
tinymemorymodule — so this fix reaches users only after a tinymemory release and an OpenHuman re-pin of both the submodule gitlink andmodules/registry.rs(version,release_url, and the per-platform sha256s). Merging here alone changes nothing for that app.API or behavior changes

That is not reachable from the OpenHuman UI (the field is free text with no picker, and the app's CWD is a build directory), and it never resolved anywhere a user chose, so there is nothing to preserve.
Validation
Commands actually run, with their outcome. Scoped to this crate rather than the workspace, because the task this came from prohibits a full workspace build; the workspace-wide
--all-featuresruns are left to CI. Ticked to record that the box was considered, with what I actually ran named in each case.cargo fmt --all -- --check— run as written, exit 0.cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings— rancargo clippy -p tinymemory-sources --lib --no-deps -- -D warnings, clean. Workspace-wide--all-featuresnot run (full build).cargo build --all-targets --all-features— rancargo check -p tinymemory-sources --features network --all-targets, clean, so the network-gated readers still compile against the unchanged trait.

Five added in
folder_tests.rs. Three prove the fix; two are regression guards and pass in both states — recorded separately rather than counted as proof.Proof, verified by reverting
folder.rsand keeping the tests. Exactly these three fail, each naming its own assertion:list_items_resolves_a_relative_path_against_the_workspaceNotFound("folder does not exist: relative_docs")read_item_resolves_a_relative_path_against_the_workspaceNotFound("file not found: relative_docs/note.md")a_missing_relative_folder_error_names_the_resolved_pathnot found: folder does not exist: relative_docsThat reverted output reproduces the reported symptom verbatim —
folder does not exist: relative_docsis the same shape as thefolder does not exist: docsin the issue.Regression guards (pass before and after, which is the point of them):
an_absolute_path_ignores_the_workspace— an absolute source against a workspace sharing no prefix with it still lists its file, so absolute resolution genuinely does not consult the workspace.an_absolute_missing_folder_error_does_not_echo_itself— no(resolved to …)suffix when the two are identical.All 13 pre-existing folder tests pass unchanged. They pass
/unusedas the workspace and use absolute tempdir paths, which is itself the evidence that absolute behaviour is untouched.The relative fixture directory is named
relative_docsrather thandocson purpose: a relative path resolves against the CWD before the fix, and undercargo testthat is the crate directory — a common name could exist there and make the pre-fix run pass for the wrong reason.Documentation
The module header's Safety note still holds;
ensure_within_basestill guardsread_item, now against the resolved base. Both new helpers carry doc comments explaining the CWD-is-not-a-root reasoning and why the resolved suffix is conditional, since that is the part a future reader would otherwise "simplify" back out.Checklist
