Research direction

Start by running the reported reproduction against SDK version 1.15.0, using ItemsRequestBuilder.ItemsRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters and RequestConfiguration. Compare the result with the suggested ChildrenRequestBuilder workaround and verify whether the filter is sent and applied. Done means the request returns only the folder named "some_name".

Description

priority:p2 type:bug
Describe the bug

I have a query that's using this code to retrieve a folder by name:

onedrive = await client.me.drive.get()
query_params = ItemsRequestBuilder.ItemsRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters(
        filter="name eq 'some_name'"
    )
config = RequestConfiguration(query_parameters=query_params)
subfolder = (await client.drives.by_drive_id(onedrive.id).items.get(request_configuration=config)).value

but suddenly it's not working anymore.
The filter based on the name just returns all 200 subfolders of onedrive.

Expected behavior

Just the folder with "some_name" is retrieved

How to reproduce
onedrive = await client.me.drive.get()
query_params = ItemsRequestBuilder.ItemsRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters(
        filter="name eq 'some_name'"
    )
config = RequestConfiguration(query_parameters=query_params)
subfolder = (await client.drives.by_drive_id(onedrive.id).items.get(request_configuration=config)).value
SDK Version

1.15.0

Latest version known to work for scenario above?

No response

Known Workarounds

Maybe switching to ChildrenRequestBuilder and using items.by_drive_items_id(ID).children.get(query_params with name filter)
