Linux file copy not working as expected.

Hello,

I'm getting ready to migrate to version 5 of BuildMaster, so I've built a new server and I'm testing my deployment plans first.
However, I'm stuck at the very first step.

The script grabs files from an Subversion source and then transfers them to a Linux host. It looks like the files are being copied, but when they end up on the server, the file name is made up of the full path including a forward slash /

This works fine on my 4.9.7 server. It seems the 5.0 server somehow is copying the files in a Windows format that the Linux server is replicating, but not in a correct file structure.

For example:
this is the folder structure
server (directory)
build (directory)
iso builder (directory)
lib (directory)
functions.ps1 (file)

ends up as a file called: server\build\iso builder\lib\functions.ps1
The directory structure is not created.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Version: 5.0.5

Hi David, is this using a v5/OtterSCript plan, or a legacy plan?

Can you share the plan so we can look and reproduce? If v5/OtterScript, it should be just as easy as sharing the text!

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, V5 OtterScript. There's not much to it.

I've changed some names to keep them secret :-)

##AH:UseTextMode
# Deploy Router1
for server BUILDMASTER3
{
    Get-Latest-Source
    (
        Provider: Subversion,
        SourcePath: /CME/
    );
    
    Transfer-Files
    (
        Include: **,
        ToDirectory: /root/upload,
        ToServer: Router1,
        Verbose: true,
        DeleteTarget: True
    );
    
}

Here is a example for the log:

Copying C:\BuildMaster\_SVCTMP\_E48\_D0\server\hyper-v\update network settings.ps1 to /root/upload/server\hyper-v\update network

You can see that the forward slashes end up as part of the filename, which is wrong for Linux.

Looks like it's definitely a regression in the v5 Transfer-Files operation. We'll get this fixed right away. Thanks for the report!

OK, thanks for the update.

BM-1997 - FIX: Transfer-Files operation can create files with \ characters on Linux

Thanks very much. Works as expected :-)
