When opening any ahk v1 file , output shows a lot of buildPaths errors
2025-04-03T09:25:18.658Z buildPaths error building c:\portable_apps\my_scripts\autohotkey\RM2module\c:\portable_apps\my_scripts\autohotkey\RM2module\RM2module.ahk 2025-04-03T09:25:18.659Z cannot open file:///c%3A/portable_apps/my_scripts/autohotkey/RM2module/c%3A/portable_apps/my_scripts/autohotkey/RM2module/RM2module.ahk%09%09%3B%20by%20Learning%20one.

this included file is is located here #Include, %A_AhkPath%..\Lib\Faster_Script_-_Optimize_Speed_To_MAX.ahk
but it looks for in c:\portable_apps\my_scripts\autohotkey\RM2module\Ahk_Script\
and it looks a lot of file in that folder, although It's not special
Reproduction steps
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open any Ahk file in vscode
- wait a little bit, and a wall of errors appears in output
- while the output errors are pouring, Can't write anything
Expected behavior
Nothing in the ouput
Additional context
it happened like yesterday, and it seems like the update broke it I checked the interpreter in on v1 (as shown in status bar) and tried defining it manually ctlk+k m I tried a full uninstall - reinstall
Have run into the same errors from within a library relying on relative includes resembling the following:
#Include %A_ScriptDir%\..\SiblingDir\CommonFile.ahk
results in the following type of message:
2025-04-03T21:55:14.922Z buildPaths error building <drive>:\<ParentDir>\<ScriptDir>\<drive>:\<ParentDir>\<SiblingDir>\<CommonFile>.ahk
2025-04-03T21:55:14.923Z cannot open file:///<drive>%3A/<ParentDir>/<ScriptDir>/<drive>%3A/<ParentDir>/<SiblingDir>/<CommonFile>.ahk. Detail: Unable to read file '<drive>:\<ParentDir>\<ScriptDir>\<drive>:\<ParentDir>\<SiblingDir>\<CommonFile>.ahk' (Error: Unable to resolve nonexistent file '<drive>:\<ParentDir>\<ScriptDir>\<drive>:\<ParentDir>\<SiblingDir>\<CommonFile>.ahk')
Dis/Re-Enabling confirms with Output; significant load difference noted.
Version rollback removed most of the errors, but several remained; these used a similar relative scheme, but with A_LineFile instead of A_ScriptDir.
Seems related to handling of relative paths in certain contexts.
Encountering the same issue while opening the ahk v1 file, rollback the extension to 6.7.0 to resolve it.
I'll move this log to debug for the next release as I look into it, it's related to #623 for anyone curious. Looks like the filename resolution isn't good enough to justify a warning log yet, sorry for the noise. You can safely ignore this log in the meantime.
