Hi @ChuckJonas , are you still seeing the issue with the latest version? We fixed the same error due to a mapped folder (symbolic link) back in March.

from salesforcedx-vscode.

Definitely has to do with the VM drive... I modified the extension to actually log the path when this error occurs and I get something like this:

c:\SnapVolumesTemp\MountPoints\{6338b562-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}\{097ae86a-2c82-4ec6-924e-ed3da382c010}\SVROOT\Users\cjonas\Documents\project\force-app\main\default\objects\Account\fields\Branch_Fax_Number__c.field-meta.xml

when it should be expecting this:

c:\users\cjonas\Documents\project\force-app\main\default\objects\Account\fields\Branch_Fax_Number__c.field-meta.xml

I don't understand why these commands are getting this "raw" path, as other vscode commands have no problem getting the mapped path.

@ChuckJonas Thank you for bringing this to our attention. AFAIK I do not believe VM mapped drives are not supported. I will however log a bug and discuss with the team.
