-------------------------------------------
Summary: Assembly fails to include directories when they are
symbolic links
Key: MASSEMBLY-1002
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-1002
Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Jimisola Laursen
Assembly fails to include directories when they are symbolic links.
E.g.
If the directory "${project.basedir}/target/surefire-reports" is a symbolic
link to another directory then the following fileset will not work.
{code:java}
<fileSet>
<directory>${project.basedir}/target/surefire-reports</directory>
<outputDirectory>/test_results/surefire</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
{code}
However, if the directory "${project.basedir}/target/surefire-reports" is an
actual directory (and not a symlinj ) and the files in that directory are
symbolic links then it works as expected.
I'm guessing that this might not be a bug in this plugin but rather Maven
Resources.
There is a related [issue|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-237]
in terms of being about symlinks, but that ticket is about preserving symbolic
links or not which in not the case here.
