Research direction

Reproduce the ctrl+shift+click flow on Ubuntu 24.04.3 with the editor configuration's open callback and inspect the logged path. Trace the Linux path handling around that callback; done means the callback receives the correct absolute source path without concatenating the working directory.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

TanStack Devtools version

v0.7.0

Framework/Library version

React v19.1.0

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

On Linux, by default the ctrl+shift+click is not working (I use both code and windsurf).

Adding the editor configuration as such:

open: async (path, lineNumber, columnNumber) => {
          console.log(path);
          const { exec } = await import('node:child_process');
          exec(
            // or windsurf/cursor/webstorm
            `code -g "${path.replaceAll('$', '\\$')}${lineNumber ? `:${lineNumber}` : ''}${columnNumber ? `:${columnNumber}` : ''}"`,
          );
        },

It opens a new editor with an empty file. However, what I can see on the console log, is that the file path is not correct.

In my case it prints:
/home/fernion/dev/proj1/apps/web/home/fernion/dev/proj1/packages/package1/src/panel.tsx

My node is running on /home/fernion/dev/proj1/apps/web and the file is located on /home/fernion/dev/proj1/packages/package1/src/panel.tsx

Somehow the path parameters has the two paths concatenated.

Please let me know what additional information I can provide.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.
