-----------------------------------
Summary: Workspace Cleanup plugin seems to be following symlinks
and deleting files outside its workspace
Key: JENKINS-13444
URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13444
Project: Jenkins
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ws-cleanup
Reporter: Gary Yund
Assignee: vjuranek
It seems like the workspace cleanup plugin is following symlinks, which creates
weird behavior. For example, I have a job that sets up the build environment,
and my other test running jobs reference this build environment directory with
symlinks. When the jobs that are using the workspace cleanup plugin don't
delete the symlinks prior to finishing the job, when the workspace is cleaned
up, files in the symlinked directory get removed.
I resolved the issue by having my ant clean task run after the build, which
removes the symlinks, but every now and again if the build fails...the clean
task doesn't run and the error resurfaces the next time the job runs when it
cleans up and those symlinks exist.
