Hello good! How can I open a document that is in the data folder of my application, for example, when I click on a button in my app, a PDF opens on the computer

It gives me an error, I tried with the entire route written by hand and it keeps giving me this error:

Uncaught (in promise) shell error: failed to open: Scoped command argument at position 0 was found, but failed regex validation ^((mailto:\w+)|(tel:\w+)|(https?://\w+) ).+

#

The slashes are / and \ and I don't know why, but I tried to write them by hand in both ways and with \\ and it doesn't work

#

I also think I have it right in the tauri.conf.json

not quite, setting it to true will make the regex default to what it says in the error. So basically only links, no file paths are allowed.

And how should I configure it to open files?

good question, either try to find a regex for file paths, which may be super annoying idk. Or just set it to ".*" to allow everything.
