Hmm. 4294967295 is just ERROR_UNHANDLED_ERROR. I thought we would have fixed this in #9223, but that's apparently not true because I can repro this too.

That's very curious.

PID: 17380, Command line: "wsl.exe" --cd "C:\WINDOWS\system32\~" -d Debian

Uh, did we re-re-introduce relative path resolution?

Wait, I'm apparently the killer.

3c7ff8f2c0/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/TerminalPage.cpp (L921-L922)

Guess how long ~ is?

This is a classic "2 unit tests, 0 integration tests" scenario.

I tested wsl -d ~ and ConptyConnection::_tryPromote..., as well as startingDirectory: '/all/sorts/of/linux/path'. :|

Hello @DHowett is there any chance that the patch will be applied before the stable version ?

Considering 1.12 is coming out (likely) tomorrow, and with it 1.11 is getting promoted to stable, I'm gonna guess no 😄
