> CharacterSetConversion and other Processors do not handle Windows paths well
> enough.

> Key: NIFI-1437
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1437
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework
> Environment: Windows 7 64bit Enterprise, Windows 10 64bit Professional
> Reporter: Thad Guidry
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: windows
>
> Windows users typically don't have to worry about supplying a trailing
> slash....until they work with some Java programs like Nifi.
> An input path such as
> "E:\git\nifi\nifi-nar-bundles\nifi-standard-bundle\nifi-standard-processors\src\test\resources\CharacterSetConversionSamples\TestInput"
> that does not have a trailing slash will cause NiFi to parse all files in
> CharacterSetConversionSamples....not the TestInput folder. To remedy the
> situation, Windows users just need to add the trailing slash \ such as
> "E:\git\nifi\nifi-nar-bundles\nifi-standard-bundle\nifi-standard-processors\src\test\resources\CharacterSetConversionSamples\TestInput\"
> and then NiFi is able to use the correct path and not pickup extra files
> from the unexpected parent folder of CharacterSetConversionSamples.
> Giving an extra hint for Windows users is sometimes an easier workaround
> than doing Windows OS detection with
> http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/lang3/SystemUtils.html#IS_OS_WINDOWS
> I think most Windows users and developers are aware of this kind of issue
> that we deal with everyday, and the extra hint should be enough...
> but others might disagree and want to fix Processor path issues for Windows
> users in the core framework itself.
