Fatal error, directory public does not exist

[Seda145]

After uploading the website to the server, Bolt does not handle the public folder properly which was "public" on the local machine and is "public_html" on the server. clearing cache makes no difference. What am I looking at?

Backend fatal error: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: The directory "/home//domains/website.com/public/theme/ThemeName" does not exist. in /home//domains/website.com/vendor/php-translation/symfony-bundle/DependencyInjection/Configuration.php:131\nStack trace:\n#0 /home//domains/website.com/vendor/symfony/config/Definition/Builder/ExprBuilder.php(239): Translation\Bundle\DependencyInjection\Configuration->Translation\Bundle\DependencyInjection\{closure}('/home/...')\n#1 /home//domains/website.com/vendor/symfony/config/Definition/BaseNode.php(461): Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\ExprBuilder::Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\{closure}('/home/...')\n#2 /home//domains/website.com/vendor/symfony/config/Definition/PrototypedArrayNode.php(177): Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\BaseNode->finalize('/home/...')\n#3 /home//domains/website.com/vendor/symfony/config/Definition/BaseNo in /home//domains/website.com/vendor/symfony/config/Definition/BaseNode.php on line 469\n

Actually, it doesn't even work right after installing bolt through composer, if you change the directory name right after bolt:setup to "public_html", you get this:

In BaseNode.php line 469:
Invalid configuration for path "translation.configs.site.dirs.0": The directory "K:/publictestwebsite/public/theme/base-2021" does not exist.

In Configuration.php line 131:
The directory "K:/publictestwebsite/public/theme/base-2021" does not exist.

Isn't Kernel::getPublicFolder() supposed to handle this?

I don't think that's supported currently. It'd be a nice feature, if we could add support for that, though.

Ah ok, after scanning the source I thought I ran into some kind of bug at first because there does seem to be a partial implementation of this in Bolt. The public folder's name is even stored in the cache. In the end I used a symbolic link to keep both Bolt and the server happy with the name of the public folder.
