Title: Message Title

Andreas Ringlstetter created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-62044 EXCLUDE patterns can't protect directories included by "**" Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Oliver Gondža Components: ws-cleanup-plugin Created: 2020-04-24 09:56 Priority: Major Reporter: Andreas Ringlstetter Consider the following pipeline code: void deleteOthers(List<String> pathList) { def prefixes = [] for(path in pathList) { def currentPrefix = path; while(true) { def prefixEnd = currentPrefix.lastIndexOf("/") if(prefixEnd > 0) { currentPrefix = currentPrefix.substring(0, prefixEnd); prefixes.add(currentPrefix) } else { break; } } } prefixes.unique() def patterns = [] for(path in prefixes) { patterns.add([ pattern: '/' + path, type: 'EXCLUDE' ]) } for(path in pathList) { patterns.add([ pattern: '/' + path, type: 'EXCLUDE' ]) patterns.add([ pattern: '/' + path + '/**', type: 'EXCLUDE' ]) } patterns.add([ pattern: '/**/*', type: 'INCLUDE' ]) cleanWs deleteDirs: true, patterns: patterns return } def keep = [ 'foo', 'foo2', 'bar/foo', 'bar/foo2', 'bar/foo3/bla' ] writeFile file:'dummy', text:'' for(path in keep) { dir(path) { writeFile file:'dummy', text:'' } } deleteOthers(keep) Expected behavior: All the listed directories listed in "keep" are preserved (as both the directories themselves, as well as all parents are explicitly excluded!) and the included files are preserved. Only the file created outside the tree is expected to be removed. Actual behavior: Only the directories + paths "foo/dummy" and "foo2/dummy" are preserved. All the directories with a nested paths, relative to include pattern, are impossible to preserve. It appears as if excludes fail to apply to any directory, if the directory was matched using a non-empty "" part of the INCLUDE wildcard. Directories only matched by a single "" (or an empty "*") have their EXCLUDE rules evaluated correctly. For files, excludes are properly evaluated even if the INCLUDE was matching with a non-empty "**". E.g. with "deleteDirs: false", all expected files are protected correctly.
