Does OpenCode not recognize the reference paths of symbolic links? in windows 11 #16342

Closed as not planned

Description

Question

I created a new project directory, then created a symbolic link inside it pointing to the frontend project directory, and another symbolic link pointing to the backend project directory. However, when I opened PowerShell in this project directory and ran opencode @file, it couldn't find anything at all — not even the frontend and backend directory names were visible. Does opencode not support Windows symbolic links yet?

    This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues related to symlink support. Please check:

    These cover similar symlink resolution problems in OpenCode. If your issue is specifically about @file not seeing symlinked directories in the file picker/search on Windows, it's likely the same root cause as #10365.

    Encountnered this issue myself as well. And here I thought I was clever in linking multiple files of the same type that I needed to work with under one project folder umbrella, only for it to not work properly.
