Cannot specify root path with trailing slash

[frazane]

What happened?

When specifying a root path in the FDB config file, if the path contains a trailing /, FDB silently fails (returns empty results) instead of handling it gracefully.

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?

Behavior occurred when using this config. Removing the trailing slash fixes the issue.

type: local
engine: toc
schema: /scratch/mch/cosuna/rea-l-ch1/schema
spaces:
- handler: Default
  roots:
  - path: /store_new/mch/msopr/rea-l-ch1/fdb/spinup/ # <- note the trailing slash

Hi @frazane ,
I've noticed the issue does not occur for fdb-read or fdb-write, but does indeed occur for fdb-list. Does this match what you've seen?

Thanks for the report, we'll look into it.

Hi @ChrisspyB, yes I also observed this for fdb-list, fdb-axes and when using the python bindings via earthkit-data.
