Selecting root folder of drive for importing maps from stable not working as expected

Game behaviour

Bug description

Selecting the root folder of a drive when choosing a folder to symlink stable maps from, fails with the following error:

Steps to reproduce:

1 - Run first time setup wizard 2 - Choose change folder location 3 - select a NTFS partition that has an osu stable installation in the root

Already tried:

Not changing the folder location in setup wizards, copies and converts all of the stable beatmaps to osu-lazer directory and format although the target partition is NTFS formatted.

Skipping the setup entirely and using the "Import from stable" button does the same.

Screenshots or videos

Partition root containing a valid(?) stable installation

Version

2022.1228.0-lazer

worth noting: The target partition is a Microsoft VHDX image, should that matter.

Let me get this straight because what I'm looking at here looks really confusing: you have your stable songs directory mapped to E:\ is what this looks like? And you're trying to set up lazer also on E:\?

[navidmafi]

Not the songs directory specifically, but a full stable installation on E:\ So my stable songs folder would be E:\songs (please take a look at the E:\ folder screenshot)

I'm trying to use that for lazer as well.

Ok, well, so first of all, this is kind of a weird setup to want to have but I do suppose there is no reason for not supporting it.

Secondly, there's this:

2023-01-20 19:37:06 [error]: Error during migration: The directory specified, 'osu-lazer', is not a subdirectory of 'E:\'. (Parameter 'path') 2023-01-20 19:37:06 [verbose]: ⚠️ Error during migration: The directory specified, 'osu-lazer', is not a subdirectory of 'E:\'. (Parameter 'path')

When you select a directory to migrate lazer to that already has files, lazer automatically will attempt to create a osu-lazer subdir and use that instead, to avoid intermingling itself with other surrounding files. This error above looks like the problem is somewhere around that, but there are no actual stacks, so I can't really tell what is failing here exactly.

Probably gonna need one of us to recreate this strange setup and see what the actual error is...

I think I misunderstood and mixed things up really badly and also confused everyone

I'm trying to set lazer data folder to E:\ (which doesn't work)

On the other hand I'm trying to import stable songs from E:\

This issue is misleading at best and invalid at worst, I will edit and re open this or create a new one, whatever you think is a better idea.

[navidmafi]

So yes, this is an invalid issue

I'm not selecting root folder of a drive to import stable maps from, I'm selecting it for new lazer data location, lazer tries to create a new directory to avoid conflicts which fails for some reason. (what @bdach said)

Creating a new empty dir manually and choosing that works as expected

I will open a new issue with proper reproducing steps

Check #22345 please, sorry for the confusion in this issue.
