-----------------------------------
Summary: Paths do not support user home directory shortcut
expansion
Key: NIFI-1693
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1693
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Framework
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Priority: Minor
Java file path handling does not support user home directory shortcut expansion
("~" -> "/Users/alopresto" for example). This is well-documented and there are
simple fixes [1] for this issue.
Recently this was discovered in the {{EncryptContent}} processors when
attempting to use a path to the public or secret keyring files that started
with the "~" character: i.e. {{~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg}}.
This should ideally be offered as a utility method (effectively a "filter" that
can be applied to all user-provided paths throughout the application for
consistent handling).
