Preserve symlinks when copying artifacts

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      When copying artifact using the Copy Artifact plugin, symlinks are replaced by the referred files or directory.

      It would be nice to have an option to preserve symlinks when copying artifacts.

            I am still seeing this issue on my two jenkins sites. One jenkins setup is Jenkins 1.651.3 + Copy Artifact Plugin 1.38, and the other jenkins setup is Jenkins 2.7.1 + Copy Aritifact Plugin 1.38. The OS of both setups is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

            Below are repro steps:
            1. One project P1 archives one file plus one symlink as its build artifacts like:
            directory1/file1, directory2/symlink2 where symlink2 is a link to ../directory1/file1.

            2. Another project P2 copies P1's artifacts to its workspace at the beginning of its build.

            Expected: both file1 and symlink2 are copied to P2's workspace.

            Actual: only file1 is copied to P2's workspace.

            Please let me know if you need more information.
