Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise, Jenkins 2.164+
Description
When using the (all files in zip) functionality starting at 2.164, either from the UI or URL (https:/myjenkins/userContent/*zip*/image.zip), the resulting image.zip has no content.
This has silently broken our builds, which utilize this functionality to retrieve certain content. Downgrading jenkins.war to 2.163 restores the functionality.
Our use is similar to that of Glenn. To provide some context:
If we want to release an artifact to production, we tag it in our SCM and let Jenkins build it, Jenkins then copies the artifact to a different location so we can download it at a later time (even if the workspace is cleared). The copy is done via a symlink created in the workspace by our build script (soft link on Linux) to a folder outside the workspace on disk.
When we want to deploy the artifact we can simply download it via een link like: /view/assets/job/assets-BootstrapPortlet/ws/RELEASES/1.0.2/BootstrapPortletEAR.ear
The _RELEASES_ folder __ is a symlink. So we basically use Jenkins as a file server just like Glenn.
We do not use symlinks in the userContent folder, but we do use it in the job workspace.
