File chooser in Form is unresponsive
I'm working on a script to manage a collection of root paths organized according to the PARA method.
onTab("New", async () => {
let [name, path] = await fields([
{
name: "name",
label: "Name",
type: "text",
placeholder: "New PARA-Root:"
},
{
name: "path",
label: "Path",
type: "file",
placeholder: "Select or create path:"
}
])
roots.push({ name, path, id: uuid(), tag: "" })
await write()
setTab("PARA-Roots")
})
The above script is working otherwise properly, but nothing happens when I try to use the resulting file chooser to select a path.

No output appears in the logs or the dev console debugger (I've dropped debugger in a few different spots...). I've tried stepping through the code, but I'm struggling to get it to step into the actual Kit code.

@mstine I'll dig into this. For now, you can use one of these approaches:
// Primarily for mouse users. Opens system file picker
let filePath = await selectFile(
`Pick a file to upload or something`
)
// Primarily for keyboard users. Opens custom file explorer (Untested on Linux 😅)
let songPath = await path({
startPath: home("Music"),
hint: "Pick your favorite song",
})
await editor({
value: JSON.stringify({ filePath, songPath }),
language: "json",
})
