Remote tramp connections not working after Emacs restart

[Chadnelson31]

I have a couple remote directories added as projects in my treemacs workspace. I am also currently using a mix of auth-sources and pass to store credentials for my connections. When I setup the remote path as a project, the credentials are decrypted correctly and I am able to access the files, but after I restart emacs and load my workspace the connection fails. I confirmed that this behavior only happens with saved workspaces in treemacs, as connecting over tramp alone using the pass credentials works fine across restarts.

This one needs debugging. Run (treemacs-current-workspace) in both scenarios, with tramp just set up and woring, and after a restart and not working, and tell me what the project looks like.

You need the part of the output that looks like this: #s(treemacs-project "Treemacs" "/home/am/Documents/git/treemacs" local-readable nil)

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity.

I just run into the same issue. I set up the workspace with a reference like

* DevOps
  * My Server
    - path :: /ssh:myserver|sudo:myserver:/opt/projects

Accepting with C-c C-c and it works beautifully.

After closing and restarting Emacs the configuration looks like

* DevOps
  * My Server
    - path :: /sudo:root@myserver:/opt/projects

and of course I can't connect anymore. I have to change it to above path to make it work again.

Problem should be fixed now - that strange transformation happens when calling abbreviate-file-name on a remote path. Treemacs will stop doing that for any paths starting with "/ssh:". Let me know if there's any other patterns I should exclude.

@Alexander-Miller you might want to include every name in the tramp-methods alist. Names are basically the prefixes for paths, e.g. ssh gets turned into /ssh:. This is what my tramp-methods looks like at the moment:
