Ben Golding created JENKINS-13384:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Cannot archive artifact - NTFS symlink
Key: JENKINS-13384
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13384
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: artifactory
Environment: Windows Slave:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit
- C: is NTFS filesystem
- Sun Java 1.6.0_20
Master:
- Jenkins 1.457
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 64 bit
- Sun Java 1.6.0_20
Reporter: Ben Golding
Assignee: yossis
Attachments: artifact_exception.log
Steps to reproduce:
# Open slave command prompt
> mkdir C:\test
> cd /d C:\test
> notepad file.txt
# Write something, save
> mklink linked.txt file.txt
# Note linked.txt is an NTFS symlink
# Open Jenkins web interface
# New Job
# Name 'test'
# 'Build a free-style software project'
# OK button
# Check 'Restrict where this project can be run', enter Windows slave name
# Check 'Use custom workspace', enter Directory: C:\test
# Check 'Archive the artifacts', enter Files to archive: file.txt,linked.txt
# Save button
# Build Now link
# When complete, click the link for Build #1
# Note 'linked.txt' appears with a size 0, while file.txt is size 15 bytes
# Click 'Console Output' link, errors seen: (artifact_exception.log is attached)
-----
Expected behaviour is: make a copy of the symlinked file as a regular file
-----
Below are some types of "link" you may wish to consider for MS Windows. Jenkins
does not necessarily need to support all.
Should be transparent to applications:
* NTFS file and directory symlinks (Win Vista and later)
* junction points (also supported on Win XP, ...)
Non-transparent:
* Windows Explorer shortcuts (.lnk) ?
* Cygwin symlinks ?
