Node deleted failed about path of unknown length about neo4j HOT 1 CLOSED

This is not a bug.

Please review the variants in our variable-length pattern documentation here:
https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/patterns/reference/#variable-length-relationships-rules

You'll note in that table that there is a difference in the defaults used when the lower bound is omitted, between the older variable-length relationship syntax, and the newer quantified path patterns, in that the default lower bound for variable-length relationship patterns is 1, not 0.

Therefore [*..1] is actually the equivalent of [*1..1]. Since there is no relationship to traverse, no paths are found that match the pattern.

Likewise [*] with variable-length relationship syntax is "1 or more" instead of "0 or more".

The behavior for quantified path patterns is different, and likely more in-line with your expectations.

As this is not a bug, I will be closing the issue.
