Absolute path to workspace with backslash is not working

[Anh Nguyen]

I'm using VSC on windows. When I use \ and .\, the extension only suggest relative files and folders

[Mihai Ionut Vilcu]

Can you please share the configurations that you have for the "path-autocomplete.pathMappings" ?

[Anh Nguyen]

I don't have any configure for anything. I've just tried it out

[Mihai Ionut Vilcu]

You should be able to change the location of the absolute path as follows:

To setup the root at disk root

    "path-autocomplete.pathMappings": {
        "$root": "/"
    },

To setup the root as the current workspace:

    "path-autocomplete.pathMappings": {
        "$root": "${workspace}/"
    },

Please close the issue if this works for you.

Thank you, that worked
