Populate workspace stopped working

[yanivoh]

Hi,
Populate workspace stopped working for me few weeks a go.
Configure workspace works and creates SPGo.json file, but the populate workspace doesn't do anything.
Tried on multiple sites and document libraries.
This is my SPGo.json file:
{
"sourceDirectory": "src",
"sharePointSiteUrl": "https://sampletenant.sharepoint.com/doccenter",
"publishingScope": "SaveOnly",
"authenticationType": "Digest",
"remoteFolders":
[
"CustomScripts/**/."
]
}

Output says:
[7.4.2020, 16:06:20] ================================ ERROR ================================

[7.4.2020, 16:06:20] Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined
[7.4.2020, 16:06:20] Error Detail:

I am experiencing the same issue.
If I manually create a new folder, manually create the file and contents, i can edit and update the SharePoint source just fine.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will take a look this week and get you a response soon.

Also- I appreciate you posting your SPGo.json file, it is helpful.

Hey Everyone- I am able to replicate this issue. I will have a fix out to the marketplace in the next day or so.

@billr-stcu, @yanivoh -

I have found and fixed a bug with file parsing, but I had a separate question about the glob pattern you are using in the remoteFolders property, because that might be part of your issue.

Are you looking to download all files within the specified folder? If so, the correct glob pattern would be "CustomScripts/**/*". The glob pattern **/. is not recognized by the parser used by SPGo.

I will publish the fix to the marketplace soon, but you may want to try the above as a workaround until then.

I have been using **/*.* for quite a while. Found the pattern in the documentation.
I just changed to **/* and files are downloading.

@billr-stcu the *.* notation is correct - I was specifically referring to this notation: **/.

That said, I was still not handling the *.* notation correctly, and that is on me! I've just published 1.6.3 to the VSCode marketplace which will now correctly handle that notation as well.

Thank you for catching this!

Thanks you for your quick turn on this.
Updated/Tested - All is well.
It's the totality of the simple things that make our lives much richer.
Very much appreciated!
Be safe :)

(Belated) Thanks @billr-stcu!

I will close this issue now.
