Michael Moser commented on NIFI-2800:
-------------------------------------
I suppose we could have used File.separator here, but what would happen if
attributes captured on Windows with backslashes is then sent over to a NIFI
running on a Linux box? Both Windows and Linux systems work (in Java) with the
forward slash, so we chose to just go with that.
This decision was made long before ExecuteStreamProcess was built. Would need
a bit of consensus before just changing this as if it was a mistake.
> GetFile Processor Appends overrides last slash in filename to always be \

> Key: NIFI-2800
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2800
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Environment: This was discovered on a windows machine running nifi
> server locally
> Reporter: Christopher Gambino
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using the GetFile processor all flowfiles created have an
> "Absolute.Path" attribute. This absolute path is taken from the directory
> field of the GetFile configuration. The last slash in the directory is
> always over-ridden to be '/' even when the user puts "\" in the directory
> structure.
> Example:
> Configuraton - "Directory": "C:\Samplepath\SampleFolder\"
> Output Flowfile - "Absolute.Path": "C:\Samplepath\SampleFolder/"
> I believe the intended function of this should not replace the last \ with a
> /. This creates issues when using the attribute in later stages with other
> processors such as ExecuteStreamProcess.
