com.vaadin.copilot.JavaSourcePathDetector warns incorrect working directory?

Flow
1

My springboot vaadin application is in /home/repos/thething/cito/[vaadinapp]
The springboot app is started with the working directory pointing to /home/repos/thething/cito/
However, the IDEs project folder is /home/repos/thething. Because of that I think spring is logging this warning:

2026-02-21T00:50:58.835-05:00 WARN 86646 — [cito] [nio-8080-exec-3] c.vaadin.copilot.JavaSourcePathDetector : Calculated project directory (/home/hdavid/repos/thething/cito) and directory reported by IDE (/home/hdavid/repos/thething) do not match. Using /home/hdavid/repos/thething.

Does this mean that something copilot related is not going to work well? or I can ignore this at the momment? Would you want me to create a ticket for this in some of your projects?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue. The message you see points the difference in project root discovered by both IDE and application itself. /home/hdavid/repos/thething will be used as project root.

What it might cause - when you are running multiple applications with same project root, Vaadin Copilot might act unpredictable, loosing track of active project.

If you observe any unexpected behavior of Vaadin Copilot or Vaadin IDE Plugin please inform us creating issue in GitHub - vaadin/copilot or https://github.com/vaadin/[intellij, vscode, eclipse]-plugin repos.
