Description

In Consul KV, suppose there 2 folders:

  • test
  • test2

Now, if the folder 'test' is deleted (steps provided below), it will also delete the folder 'test2'. Steps to reproduce:

  • Go to Consul KV
  • Create 2 folders: 'test' and 'test2'
  • Click on 'test' and then on the 'DELETE FOLDER' button on the top-right corner.
  • Click on 'YES, DELETE THE FOLDER'.

This will delete both the folders 'test' and 'test2', and any other sibling folder whose name starts with 'test'.

Research direction
Look at the folder deletion logic in the Consul KV UI, likely in a frontend component. The bug is likely due to a string prefix check that treats 'test' as a prefix for 'test2'. Ensure the deletion uses exact matching with a proper path separator (e.g., '/') to avoid deleting sibling folders with similar names. The repository's language is JavaScript, so check the relevant code in the repository's frontend directory.
