No worktree for path {project_path:?}

Error message

No worktree for path {project_path:?}

What it means

In Project::create_entry: the supplied ProjectPath references a worktree_id with no matching worktree in the WorktreeStore, so a new file/directory entry cannot be created. Indicates a stale or invalid project path.

Solutions

1. Ensure the worktree containing the path is open and finished loading
2. Retry the creation after the project loads
