Describe the bug

The gf (goto file) command in VSCode's Vim extension fails to navigate to files that reference a parent directory(../). When trying to navigate to files with relative paths that go up a directory, the command does not work as expected.

File paths with parent directory references can be opened using Ctrl + Left Click but not with the gf command.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior (please watch the video - the video player options might cover VSCode's status bar):

2025-01-14.19-39-02.mp4

Expected behavior

The gf command works with parent directory paths (e.g., a path like ../../some-folder/file.c should work).

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.29.0
  • VSCode version: 1.96.3
  • OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

Same issue with any relative path it seems; ./abc.txt also seems to open $projectroot/abc.txt
