[sketchbook] The view shows broken hierarchy when opening the MarlinFirmware/Marlin project

[kittaakos]

Describe the problem

The view shows some strange sketchbook hierarchy when I have Marlin project opened in IDE2.

The actual FS content:

To reproduce

• Clone https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin to the directories#user location (on macOS this is ~/Documents/Arduino),
• Open Marlin in IDE2

Expected behavior

I am not sure what to expect but the sketchbook tree looks incorrect. If there is a complex sketch, IDE2 should show the sketch Marlin as any other sketches.

IDE2 should show the sketch Marlin as any other sketches.

It does. Right here:

The folder you see here is a parent folder which happens to have the same name as the sketch folder (the sketch is in the Marlin subfolder of the repository):

So the sketchbook tree looks like this:

Arduino/
├── Marlin/
│   ├── LICENSE
│   ├── Makefile
│   ├── Marlin/
│   │   ├── Configuration.h
│   │   ├── Configuration_adv.h
│   │   ├── Makefile
│   │   ├── Marlin.ino
│   │   ├── Version.h
│   │   ├── lib/
│   │   └── src/
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── buildroot/
│   ├── config/

│   ├── get_test_targets.py

└── [...]

(note the location of the .ino file at Arduino/Marlin/Marlin/Marlin.ino)

Thanks! I close this issue although the indentation or UX could be improved.

Definitely! I also find it difficult to interpret the tree structure of a nested sketchbook. There is already an item in the private backlog about that (5303). I'll publish that issue to GitHub ASAP so we can track it more effectively.
