Summary

Running "zed ." from WSL in a mounted Windows drive does not work

Description

Steps to trigger the problem:

  1. Make a folder C:\some_folder in Windows
  2. Open a WSL terminal and "cd /mnt/c/some_folder"
  3. Run "zed ."

Expected Behavior:
zed should open that folder. I don't know if it should open via WSL somehow or as a Windows folder, but it should do one of those things.

Actual Behavior:
Modal error box that reads
Failed to connect to WSL
RPC requrest AddWorktree failed:
DevServerPRojectPathDoesNotExist
path=C:/some_folder

Zed Version and System Specs

zed 0.208.4 (the first Windows release)
