Error on dsettings when Project is stored in a database #98
Description
When accessing Dsettings I get an error
OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'C:/Users/xxxx/Documents/oracle:'
Full message

I traced it back to the difference in project loading. If the project is loaded from a file it works fine. The project is stored in an Oracle database
Running
from qgis.core import QgsProject
print("Project fileName:", QgsProject.instance().fileName())
print("Project homePath:", QgsProject.instance().homePath())
the homePath returns : Project homePath: oracle:/
I added a path to the Project home under project properties but the error persists.
Changing between absolute or relative paths also did not make a difference
ChatGPT (Yeah I know) suggests Plugins assuming fileName() is a filesystem path break when projects are stored in Oracle DB. They should use homePath() instead.”
Thanks
