Description
Expected Behavior
When user creates symbolic link to Samba shared folder, it should be visible inside Solution Explorer and don't crash VS.
Actual Behavior
Visual Studio crashes when a user creates a symbolic link to Samba shared folder. When VS reloads Solution Explorer doesn't show the folder ("Show all files" is on).
C# handles this without an issue.
- NTVS Version: 1.4.20907.4
- Visual Studio Version: 15.8.5
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a NodeJs project (for example Blank Node.js Console Application)
- Inside the project create a symbolic link to a Samba folder
C:\Users\george\source\repos\NodejsConsoleApp1>mklink /d "Source" "\\UBUNTU\source"
It works fine when you create a symbolic link to windows folder.
