Ari Hyttinen updated JENKINS-13028:
-----------------------------------
Description:
When user supplies a network share file path (for example
\\path\to\share\file.xxx)
to a field, which uses FilePath.child() method to get FilePath object for the
file, it does not work, because FilePath.isAbsolute() method returns false for
the path, and then current workspace is prepended to it.
If using drive letter, for example X:\mapped\path\file.xxx, then isAbsolute
detects it correctly, and FilePath.child() returns valid FilePath object.
In plugin code, a kludgy workaround I've been using is:
if pathString starts with "\\\\",
then get new FilePath(pathString),
else get FilePath.child(pathString).
User workarounds are to copy the file from share to workspace with separate
build step, or to map the share to a drive letter if possible.
Note: hudson/FilePath.java already has regexp for detecting these paths as
absolute, but for some reason isAbsolute() uses different regexp, which only
detects driver letter and /-paths.
