Renaming file renames the wrong file #49

Closed Sheraff closed 3 years ago

Sheraff commented 3 years ago

Using

vscode 1.57.1
latest codeswing 0.0.20
latest gistpad 0.3.0

Reproduce

create a gistpad swing HTML/JS/CSS
rename style.css to style.scss
another file gets renamed instead (sometimes script.js, sometimes index.html, IDK what influences that)

Here's a screencast of the issue

Yeah this is actually an issue with GistPad, not CodeSwing. I've noticed that Gist file renaming can be super funky and I'm not sure if it's a GistPad bug or a Gist bug. Let me take a look!

I confirmed that this is unfortunately an issue that can sometimes happen with the Gist API. CodeSwing itself doesn't manage file renames. It simply asks the underlying file system provider to do the rename for it, and in the case of gists, that can sometimes fail. I'm going to close this issue, and try to investigate the issue further on the GistPad side. Thanks!
