Custom Collections not displaying with latest Dev ES
-
System - RPI3
EmulationStation Versions Tested: Stable 2.7.4RP (Binaries), Dev build 4d732a4I just started setting up a few Custom Collections on ES this week and have found that with the latest dev build of ES custom collections can be created but they do not load and do not appear in the system carousel. I can confirm rolling back to the latest stable build the collections do appear so the config files themselves are working.
I know there has been quite a lot of updates to ES dev in the past few weeks so this may be a known issue that just hasn't been addressed yet, but just in case it hasn't been reported yet I wanted to post here.
I think the key lines in the ES log file are below, it seems like it no longer recognizes the collections files as valid configs, even though the same files load fine on the older build.

@msheehan79 I think it's related to the filename/path changes - removing the
boost::filesystem, the test for collection filename (https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/4d732a448ec738de9097069cf9fed10a94cd32e5/es-app/src/CollectionSystemManager.cpp#L960) is not working as it should. -
Thanks - I think it is related to this too. Hopefully it's a quick fix and just needing to update to use the new internal file processes that were added to remove the dependency on boost.
@Tomaz @pjft Tagging you both on this as the devs who can hopefully look into this - I can open a ticket on github if needed as well.

I'll take a look when I get back home tomorrow

@tomaz Could you also take a look at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16760/custom-collections-are-not-showing-in-emulationstation-for-windows/9, seems to be related somehow. I'm not sure if appears on Linux, but on Windows it seems the filename is cut 1 character (instead of prefixed with
/). -
@mitu Should already be fixed in -dev, but I'll doublecheck after work.
-
I did some tests, and I think one of the patches done in the last couple of days should have fixed this.
At least I can't reproduce this bug. -
@tomaz Thanks for taking a look.
