Fix Desktop file dialogs always opening in Downloads (#10226) - #10327
Fix Desktop file dialogs always opening in Downloads (#10226)#10327dpage wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Native showOpenDialog/showSaveDialog calls no longer reliably remember the last used folder across invocations (regression after bumping Electron 42 -> 43 in 9.17), so every file dialog in Desktop mode - Open SQL file, Backup, Restore, Import/Export Data - fell back to Chromium's hardcoded default location (Downloads) each time. Track the last visited directory ourselves in the persistent config store and pass it as defaultPath whenever the caller hasn't already asked for a specific location, restoring the pre-9.17 behaviour. Closes pgadmin-org#10226
WalkthroughNative open and save dialogs now validate stored directories asynchronously. Invalid or inaccessible paths are ignored. Store-write and logging failures are reported through ChangesDialog directory persistence
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change may override explicitly requested dialog locations, causing save dialogs to lose suggested filenames and query-tool downloads to stop opening in Downloads.

- Around line 495-502: Update rememberVisitedDirectory to catch configStore.set
failures, log the error, and allow the successful dialog result to continue
returning from both IPC handlers; add a regression test covering persistence
failure without rejecting the dialog.
- Around line 488-490: Update withLastVisitedDirectory to be asynchronous, use
fs.promises.stat(lastVisitedDirectory) and apply defaultPath only when the
result is a directory, catching stat failures and returning the original options
otherwise. Await withLastVisitedDirectory in both dialog handlers so
remembered-path validation does not use synchronous filesystem calls.

- withLastVisitedDirectory now stats asynchronously (fs.promises.stat) instead of fs.existsSync, so a stale/network path can't block the Electron main-process event loop. - rememberVisitedDirectory catches configStore.set failures instead of letting them reject the dialog handler's promise, so a transient config-write error doesn't turn a successful file selection into an error for the caller.

- Around line 509-513: Update the error handler around configStore.set in
rememberVisitedDirectory so the fallback misc.writeServerLog call cannot
propagate an exception; wrap that logging call in a nested try/catch or use an
established non-throwing logger, while preserving the original failure handling.

…irectory writeServerLog does an unguarded fs.writeFileSync, so if configStore.set fails and the log write also fails, the second error would escape uncaught and reject the IPC handler after a successful file selection.
