Jenkins with custom build record root dir: renaming a job should create the new build record dir if it does not already exist

    Description

      We are using the (great) custom build record root directory feature, to store build records on an external location, at /some-static-path/${ITEM_FULLNAME}/builds

      So far so good.

      But when we rename a helloWorld job (which has build records) to helloWorld.newname, the rename succeeds, but throws this exception in the browser:

      Exception: failed to rename /some-static-path/helloWorld/builds to /some-static-path/helloWorld.newname/builds
      Stacktrace:
      java.io.IOException: failed to rename /some-static-path/helloWorld/builds to /some-static-path/helloWorld.newname/builds

      at org.kohsuke.stapler.MetaClass$1.doDispatch(MetaClass.java:111)

      It seems the main issue here is that the 'new' external location directory at /some-static-path/helloWorld.newname/builds does not yet exist. Is it possible to do a 'mkdir -p' to create this directory, before doing the renameTo?

            Hi Daniel,

            Thanks for looking into it. Just for the record I am using Jenkins 1.570 and the rename seems to correctly to rename the job but not all builds get moved over. It also throws the exception below though.

            It is fairly obvious something is going wrong. Manually copying the files sorts out the problem ofcourse.

            It's fairly obvious from the source code diff of the linked issue that the code assumes the parent directory to exist.

            I.e. /foo/bar/${ITEM_FULL_NAME} is OK, /foo/bar/${ITEM_FULL_NAME}/baz is not.

            Will likely also fail when using Folders plugin so ITEM_FULL_NAME is multiple nested dirs.
