Description

This PR fixes an issue where the custom modes YAML file was not being found when users configured a custom storage path using the roo-cline.customStoragePath setting.

Problem

When users set roo-cline.customStoragePath in their VSCode settings, the CustomModesManager was still looking for custom_modes.yaml in the default global storage location instead of the custom path. This was because:

  1. CustomModesManager.getCustomModesFilePath() was using ensureSettingsDirectoryExists() from globalContext.ts
  2. ensureSettingsDirectoryExists() was directly using context.globalStorageUri.fsPath without checking for the custom storage path setting

Solution

  • Updated CustomModesManager to use getSettingsDirectoryPath() from storage.ts which properly respects the customStoragePath setting
  • Updated globalContext.ts functions to use the storage utilities that handle custom paths correctly

Testing

  • All existing tests pass
  • The changes maintain backward compatibility for users without custom storage paths
  • The fix ensures that custom modes are properly loaded from the configured custom storage location

Fixes #7154


Important

Fixes issue with CustomModesManager not respecting roo-cline.customStoragePath by using getSettingsDirectoryPath().

  • Behavior:
    • CustomModesManager.getCustomModesFilePath() now uses getSettingsDirectoryPath() to respect roo-cline.customStoragePath.
    • Updates in globalContext.ts to use getSettingsDirectoryPath() for custom paths.
  • Testing:
    • All existing tests pass.
    • Backward compatibility maintained for users without custom storage paths.

I reviewed my own code and found bugs. Classic Tuesday.

Is this intentional? You're passing context.globalStorageUri.fsPath to getSettingsDirectoryPath(), but that function expects the default storage path and internally calls getStorageBasePath() to apply custom path logic. This could cause the custom path resolution to be applied twice, potentially breaking the path resolution.

Should this instead just pass the context or ensure the function signature matches the expected input?

const settingsDir = join(context.globalStorageUri.fsPath, "settings")
await mkdir(settingsDir, { recursive: true })
return settingsDir
return getSettingsDirectoryPath(context.globalStorageUri.fsPath)

This change looks correct in delegating to the storage utilities, but I'm wondering if there might be a subtle issue here. The getStorageBasePath() function expects the default path and applies custom path logic on top of it. Since you're passing context.globalStorageUri.fsPath directly, this should work as intended.

However, have we verified that all 17 call sites of ensureSettingsDirectoryExists() are expecting this new behavior where custom paths are respected? This could be a breaking change for code that specifically needs the default storage location.

This PR doesn't work. The fix is incomplete and doesn't properly address the custom storage path issue. Closing.
