files/get_metadata has incorrect case for path_display
If I fetch the metadata for a folder and check the path_display, I get the mixed case path as desired.
But if I fetch the metadata for a file within that folder, the entire path is lower case. path...
Having tried to reproduce this with non-proprietary files I see the problem is more subtle. It has to do with folders being removed and added back with a different case.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a folder called Test
- Add a folder called lowercase.
- Delete the folder named lowercase
- Add a folder named LowerCase
- Add a file named Error.png
We have:
Now we let's look at the API view. It correctly shows the path_display of “/Test/LowerCase”
But when I get the metadata for the file, it shows the incorrect case for the folder which was deleted and added with a different case. It shows “/Test/lowercase/Error.png” but I would expect “/Test/LowerCase/Error.png”
Knowing what I know now, I can code around the problem. But still ... very curious.
