Describe the feature
I'd like to be able to use oil.nvim with locally mounted UNC paths on Windows for fast looking into files after search via fd and gf to open a file and use map('n', '<leader>ex', [[<cmd>lua require("oil").open()<CR>]], opts) -- open dir of current buffer instead of cwd to traverse the directory.
Provide background
Upon execution of <leader>ex mapped to
I get
E5108: Error executing lua ...r/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/init.lua:399: BufReadCmd Autokommandos für "oil://*": Vim(append):Error executing lua callback: ...fer/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/fs.lua:89: attempt to index local 'drive' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...fer/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/fs.lua:89: in function 'posix_to_os_path' ...Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/adapters/files.lua:229: in function 'normalize_url' ...r/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/init.lua:966: in function 'load_oil_buffer' ...r/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/init.lua:1088: in function <...r/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/init.lua:1087> [C]: in function 'edit' ...r/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/init.lua:399: in function 'open' [string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk stack traceback: [C]: in function 'edit' ...r/AppData/Local/nvim-data/lazy/oil.nvim/lua/oil/init.lua:399: in function 'open' [string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk
and a never finishing loading dialog
What is the significance of this feature?
nice to have
Additional details
Why?
If one does frequent remote operations on Windows (in local ir VPN network), one will not want to mount remote pcs to hard drives like R:\ to prevent clashes of different machines or accidental copying/overwriting wrong machines.
The alternative is 1. to not use oil.nvim or 2. use yazi for inspection or 3. use :e \\ip\drive\pathtofile, 4. traverse via shell to the other files.
UNC paths with restrictions are quite feasible to implement, see https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/332fbb4b027a5529e58b1e46d785718a7faa75e6/lib/std/fs/path.zig#L1403.
If not, then please briefly explain scope of filepath shennanigans/complexity you're willing to handle in this plugin.
Thanks for the plugin.
