exploded deploy does not work on windows because of use of File#renameTo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-10232 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10232 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: JBossAS/Servers Environment: JBossAS Tools: Version: 2.3.0.v20111104-1515-H45-M4 Java version: 1.5.0_22, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. Java home: C:\devtools\java\jdk1.5.0_22\jre Default locale: en_CA, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows xp", version: "5.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows" Reporter: Jim Sellers Assignee: Rob Stryker Setup: in a project on windows with an ear / war / jar in an exploded format and having started the server in debug mode. If you make any changes to a file in the jar, the jar will be rebuilt and try to be deployed. This seems to work but it pops up an error dialog box *every time*. The error message looks like the following: {code} Error renaming C:\devtools\jboss\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\tmp\jbosstoolsTemp\tmp2587902707203199490.jar to C:\devtools\jboss\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\MyExampleEAR.ear\MyExampleWAR.war\WEB-INF\lib\MyDependantJar-2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar. This may be caused by your server's temporary deploy directory being on a different filesystem than the final destination. You may adjust these settings in the server editor. {code} For the method org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core.server.xpl.PublishCopyUtil#safeRename(File,File,int) it calls File#renameTo(File) for moving the file from the temp directory to WEB-INF/lib. From the javadocs for renameTo it says that this might not work if the file in the destination already exists. Possible fixes: # before calling the rename, try to delete on the destination file ( to.delete() ) # org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils#moveFile(File,File) tries to call the renameTo and if that fails it falls back to coping the file to the destination. {code:JAVA|title=Sample Unit test} /* This test needs to be run on windows. */ @Test public void testCopyForWindows() throws IOException { File from = File.createTempFile("source", ".txt"); File to = File.createTempFile("target", ".txt"); File[] files = {from, to}; for (File file : files) { // set for cleanup file.deleteOnExit(); assertTrue("file should exist" + file.getAbsolutePath(), file.exists()); assertTrue("file should be writable" + file.getAbsolutePath(), file.canWrite()); } // if safeRename was not private! assertTrue("should have been able to rename the file", safeRename(from, to, 10)); } {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
