escolha a pasta do arquivo

Error message

escolha a pasta do arquivo

What it means

scan validates that opts.dest names a folder before enumerating the collection. If dest is empty (or only whitespace), it throws "escolha a pasta do arquivo". This is an upfront input guard so yt-dlp never runs without a target directory.

Solutions

1. Set opts.dest to a valid writable folder path before calling scan.
2. In the UI, disable the enumerate action until a folder is chosen.
3. Trim and validate the path in the frontend before invoking the command.
4. If dest comes from config/settings, provide a default download directory.

Example fix

// before
let res = yt_archive::scan(&opts, &progress).await?;
// after
if opts.dest.trim().is_empty() {
    eprintln!("selecione uma pasta de destino antes de enumerar");
    return Ok(());
}
let res = yt_archive::scan(&opts, &progress).await?;

// Rust
let dest = opts.dest.trim();
if dest.is_empty() {
    return Err(anyhow!("selecione a pasta do arquivo antes de enumerar"));
}
if !std::path::Path::new(dest).is_dir() {
    std::fs::create_dir_all(dest)?;
}

match yt_archive::scan(&opts, &progress).await {
    Ok(r) => r,
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("escolha a pasta") => {
        eprintln!("pasta de destino não definida");
        prompt_user_for_folder()
    }
    Err(e) => return Err(e),
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling scan (e.g. from the live_yt_archive_enumerates_a_public_playlist flow or the UI) with Options.dest set to "" or whitespace only.

Common situations: User clicking enumerate before picking a folder in the UI; frontend passing an unset/unbound form field; tests constructing Options without dest.
