fix(folders): show the folder trail in table and knowledge base headers by waleedlatif1 · Pull Request #6515 · simstudioai/sim

waleedlatif1 · 2026-08-11T01:08:38Z

Summary

A table or knowledge base opened from inside a folder rendered Tables / name, dropping every folder between it and the root, while a file's header showed the full Files / docs / name path. The detail pages never read the resource's own folderId, so the trail could not include it.
Rather than patch the two headers, all six foldered surfaces (Files, Tables, Knowledge — list and detail) now build their trail from one shared builder:
- folderAncestorChain(folderId, lookup) in lib/folders/tree.ts is the single upward walk. Both getFolderPath variants delegate to it. The two lock predicates deliberately keep their inline walks — they short-circuit at the first locked ancestor on a per-row render path.
- folderBreadcrumbItems takes a trailing slot for detail pages, as a discriminated union so an open-folder rename can't be passed alongside it and silently dropped.
- useFolderAncestors owns the folder tree plus the foldersResolved staleness rule; useFolderNavigation delegates to it.
- FOLDERED_RESOURCE_HEADERS owns each resource's root label, root icon, and list path, which seven sites previously restated.
Files' list trail moved off splitting the materialized path string, which couldn't tell two same-named siblings apart, onto the shared parentId walk.
Also fixes the Files loading trail, whose folder crumbs used the nuqs setter while rendering on the file detail route — appending ?folderId= to the open file's own URL instead of navigating to the list.

Type of Change

Bug fix

Testing

tsc --noEmit, bun run lint:check, and bun run check:react-query / check:api-validation / check:client-boundary all clean. 2902 tests across 249 files pass, including new coverage for the chain walk and the detail-page trail; I verified those tests fail against a deliberately broken implementation.

Not yet verified in a browser — the dev server won't start from a git worktree (Turbopack resolves the outer repo as root). The visual change is the folder segments now appearing in table/KB headers, so it's worth a look on the preview before merge.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Cross-resource header and navigation changes with shared folder-tree correctness rules (foldersResolved, partial chains); no auth or data-model changes, but regressions would show wrong paths or broken crumb navigation.

Overview
Foldered Files, Tables, and Knowledge list and detail headers now build the same trail from one path: walk parentId via folderAncestorChain, validate completeness with breadcrumbFolderChain, and assemble crumbs with folderBreadcrumbItems (list mode keeps rename/menu on the open folder; detail mode uses trailing crumbs so every folder segment navigates).

Table and knowledge base detail pages were missing intermediate folders because they never used the resource’s folderId; they now load the chain through useFolderAncestors. List navigation still uses useFolderNavigation, which delegates ancestry to that hook and exposes ancestors instead of duplicating tree fetch logic.

FOLDERED_RESOURCE_HEADERS and folderedResourceListHref / folderListHref centralize root labels, icons, and list URLs (including Recently deleted folder links). Files list breadcrumbs no longer split a materialized path string (ambiguous siblings); loading/detail folder crumbs navigate to the files list route instead of mutating the open file URL with nuqs.

A table or knowledge base opened from inside a folder rendered `Tables / name`, dropping every folder between it and the root — while a file's header showed the full `Files / docs / name` path. The detail pages never read the resource's own `folderId`, so the trail could not include it. Converge all six foldered surfaces on one builder instead of fixing the two headers in place: - `folderAncestorChain(folderId, lookup)` in `lib/folders/tree.ts` is now the single upward walk. Both `getFolderPath` variants delegate to it; the two lock predicates deliberately keep their inline walks, which short-circuit at the first locked ancestor on a per-row render path. - `folderBreadcrumbItems` takes a `trailing` slot for detail pages, as a discriminated union so an open-folder rename cannot be passed alongside it and silently dropped. - `useFolderAncestors` owns the tree plus the `foldersResolved` staleness rule; `useFolderNavigation` now delegates to it. - `FOLDERED_RESOURCE_HEADERS` owns each resource's root label, root icon, and list path, which seven sites previously restated. Files' list trail moved off splitting the materialized `path` string, which could not tell two same-named siblings apart, onto the shared parentId walk. Also fixes the Files loading trail, whose folder crumbs used the nuqs setter while rendering on the file detail route — appending `?folderId=` to the open file's own URL instead of navigating to the list.
