[Bug]: open shared folder doesn't work

[David-Rodriguez-cabrera]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.

Bug description

First of all, sorry for my English, I'm using a translator.
If I share a folder and try to open it from shared with me, shared with others...
The url fails, investigating on my own I noticed that in the html of that part the data-path was empty, and in the normal menu it has '/' set, which is how I have it configured.
Since f12 I put data-path="/" to a folder and I was able to enter it.
So there is a bug with the path of the shared folders opened from shares.
This does not happen with files.

Steps to reproduce

1.Share folder.
2.Move to shared.
3.Open shared folder from there.
4.See that the All Files menu opens.

Expected behavior

Wait for me to open the shared folder.

Hey, I had a problem with a similar reproduction:

1. Log in with account A (admin, in my case), open the Files app. In another incognito window, log in with account B; open the Files app.
2. Share a folder from account A with account B, using default settings.
3. On account B, open "Shared with you".
4. Try to open the shared folder from there.
5. Problem: now the All Files page opens (it looks like it redirected), not the shared folder.

I worked around this issue by logging out out of account B, and logging in again. I can now access the shared folder as expected. I'm not sure if a page refresh would have accomplished the same.

I'm on

• Nextcloud AIO v7.2.1 with Imaginary, Collabora & Fulltextsearch
• Nextcloud Hub 6 27.1.0

Update: I got this problem again on a fresh log in. Refreshing the page did allow me to access the shared folder, no log out/log in cycle was needed.

[ZID-TU-Graz-Collab]

We noticed the same problem here. V27.1.0

[Antreesy]

Observed at 26.0.7 by customer after major update, so seems to work fine until v25 inclusively

[ShGKme]

Cannot reproduce on 27.0.2 (Nextcloud AIO v7.0.0)

UPD: can reproduce, it happens randomly, but more likely when I open the shared directory "fast" after switching from another directory. The shared folder is open, but files are listed from the root.

Sometimes I can see root files for a second before the real shared folder content is shown.

Sometimes a request is canceled and the page is redirected to the root...

[ShGKme]

Not sure, but it seems to be caused by this: #35772

On directory open it calls OCA.Files.App.setActiveView('files', { silent: true })

server/apps/files_sharing/js/app.js

Lines 260 to 263 in 6bfbb47

	fileActions.register('dir', 'Open', OC.PERMISSION_READ, '', function(filename, context) {
	OCA.Files.App.setActiveView('files', { silent: true })
	OCA.Files.App.fileList.changeDirectory(OC.joinPaths(context.$file.attr('data-path'), filename), true, true)
	})

Which then emit files:legacy-navigation:changed

server/apps/files/js/app.js

Lines 223 to 226 in 6bfbb47

	setActiveView: function(viewId) {
	// The Navigation API will handle the final event
	window._nc_event_bus.emit('files:legacy-navigation:changed', { id: viewId })
	},

Which then opens the default view for files: /files root page

server/apps/files/src/views/Navigation.vue

Lines 233 to 242 in 6bfbb47

	onLegacyNavigationChanged({ id } = { id: 'files' }) {
	const view = this.Navigation.views.find(view => view.id === id)
	if (view && view.legacy && view.id !== this.currentView.id) {
	// Force update the current route as the request comes
	// from the legacy files app router
	this.$router.replace({ ...this.$route, params: { view: view.id } })
	this.Navigation.setActive(view)
	this.showView(view)
	}
	},

.

On the first step, there is also a changeDirectory which opens the correct directory.

But at this moment there is a race. Root /files/ was already opened and the files list was requested. So both /files/ and /files/some-shared are requested. Because the root folder is usually large, it often wins the race, and root files are loaded after the shared files.

---

Not a bug for Nextcloud 28 because of many changes of go to share behavior and navigation during files to vue migration.
