Empty project list on Windows

[ntcong]

I'm using this config

    "gitProjectManager.baseProjectsFolders": [
        "C:\\test",
        "D:\\Dropbox\\workspace",
        "/Users/ntcong/Dropbox/workspace"
    ],
    "gitProjectManager.storeRepositoriesBetweenSessions": false,
    "gitProjectManager.codePath": [
        "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft VS Code\\bin\\code.cmd",
        "/usr/local/bin/code"
    ],
    "gitProjectManager.recentProjectsListSize": 5,
    "gitProjectManager.maxDepthRecursion": 2,
    "gitProjectManager.warnIfFolderNotFound": true,
    "gitProjectManager.checkRemoteOrigin": false
}

It's working correctly on OSX, but return no entries on Windows (no process bar, no error log). Is there any way to enable a verbose output so I can know what's going on here.

Also having this issue on Windows (using the Insider edition of VS Code)

Sorry for taking too long. I will add some logs to enable verbose mode to make it easy to.

Maybe I could try to fix it with a isValidPath before searching for projects

I have cleared the Code folder in AppData and it works for a while. Using Open Git Project in Subfolder return correctly "D:\Dropbox\workspace"

But after a few restart, it stopped working and subfolder changed to "Dropboxorkspace"

@ntcong Thanks for the info. Yesteday I've created a VM to start fixing this. It seems that something is escaping the the \ in the path after some time.

I will start changing the way path is built and normalize path to the fs module right from the beginning.

I will problably make a pre-release here in the repo, and it would be great if you could test it!

@ntcong Is this problem still happening? Can we close this issue?

[ntcong]

I think so, I have used for last few months without problem.
