I recently had someone reporting a problem with my mods, which I have never seen before. After investigating, I found out he was running the DayZ Server on Linux and the problem was, that user json files could not be loaded from a folder. The whole folder would be scanned and all files should be loaded by my mod and the problem was, that FindFile would never return a valid FileHandle even when changing the permissions of the folder to 777 and trying some more possible fixes

Steps To Reproduce
Install a DayZ Server on Linux, create a folder in the profiles folder, add some files in there and try to use
string filename;
FileAttr attrs;
FileHandle handle = FindFiles("$profile:TestFolder/*", filename, attrs, FineFileMode.ANY);
if (handle == 0) Error("Could not open folder");
Print("Found: " + filename);
while (FindNextFile(handle, filename, attr))
Print("Found: " + filename);
CloseFindFile(handle);Event Timeline

I think this should be fixed in 1.26 too.
I actually never saw this issue during any of my testing so its a bit confusing.
This is the final test script that also QA will use to confirm the fix
void TestFindFiles(string path)
{
string fileName;
FileAttr fileAttr;
Print(path);
FindFileHandle findFileHandle = FindFile(path, fileName, fileAttr, 0);
if (findFileHandle) {
bool isValid = true;
while (isValid) {
if (fileName.Length() > 0) {
Print(fileName);
Print(fileAttr);
}
isValid = FindNextFile(findFileHandle, fileName, fileAttr);
}
CloseFindFile( findFileHandle );
}
}In my tests, this script even worked before any of the fixes. And FindNextFile cannot work without a handle (Internally its a pointer to a structure that holds all context)
Maybe only the $profile doesn't work? could that be it?

Maybe it's the if (handle == 0) check that makes it fail? Could a valid (non-NULL) FindFileHandle be implicitly cast to a zero int by this comparison, thus making it fail?

Affected by this issue on our Ubuntu 24.04 systems on AMD hardware. A resolution or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
