Google Drive File/Folder Search Blank Output

Describe the problem/error/question

Couple days ago, I tried using Google Drive Search to get a specific folder and it worked just fine. After upgrading to 1.88, I think it doesn’t work anymore.
If using *, it still works – returning all folders.

But when specified, it returns blank eventhough the ID matches one of them.

I suggest to additionally add the mimeType to the Fields of the Google Drive node and use a Switch or If node to check the mimeType. It should be application/vnd.google-apps.folder for folders.

Unfortunately the Google Drive node (or the google api) doesn’t throw an exception when you pass an ID of a file as ID for a folder. It simply returns an empty array.

Thank you @Franz , you gave me an idea which is to use IF node after executing Google Drive Search node with some outputs that I need.
Thanks again!
