opener plugin docs missing mention of requireLiteralLeadingDot

[masiama]

For context, I open a PDF file by the path returned from the backend. The backend uses platform_dirs::AppDirs with use_xdg_on_macos being true. The frontend receives a path that looks like /Users/user/.local/share/app/file.pdf. It starts to work only if to move the file outside the .local folder.

Code

openPath("/Users/user/.local/share/app/file.pdf"); //  Error
openPath("/Users/user/.local/share/file.pdf"); // Error
openPath("/Users/user/.local/file.pdf"); // Error
openPath("/Users/user/file.pdf"); // No error

Error

Not allowed to open path /Users/user/.local/share/app/file.pdf

Permission

{
  "identifier": "opener:allow-open-path",
  "allow": [{ "path": "**/*.pdf" }]
}

This is basically what's mentioned all the way at the bottom here https://v2.tauri.app/plugin/file-system/#scopes - try this please

{
  "identifier": "opener:allow-open-path",
  "allow": [{ "path": "**/*.pdf" }],
  "requireLiteralLeadingDot": false
}

@FabianLars It didn't help. Isn't it for fs plugin? I even tried to allow all paths with

{
  "identifier": "opener:allow-open-path",
  "allow": [{ "path": "**/*" }],
  "requireLiteralLeadingDot": false
}

[FabianLars]

yes the link is for the fs plugin but the opener plugin is supposed to have that too. Just checked again and it doesn't: https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace/blob/v2/plugins/opener/src/scope.rs#L132

will try to push an update today.

@FabianLars, just in case, are there any updates?

[FabianLars]

first pr here #2762

the per-scope approach will be tracked here #1927 since both plugins are missing it.

will keep this open for the docs

Just in case, a new version of the opener plugin was released that now respects requireLiteralLeadingDot. So my problem is resolved by just updating the plugin and adding this to tauri.conf.json:

{
  // ...
  "plugins": {
    "opener": {
      "requireLiteralLeadingDot": false
    }
  }
}
