[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17882) Validate remote server dir before start/stop/deploy operations

Martin Malina closed JBIDE-17882.
---------------------------------


I verified this with EAP 7 and devstudio 10. Although my verification is not 100%. When I save an empty path, it showed me an error when I tried to start the server. Likewise when I changed the path to a non-existent one. Then I wanted to try to start the server and then rename the deployments dir on the remote server, but that resulted in exceptions in the server log, so I didn't even try to deploy anything there.

> The problem is that he had an empty dir set up on a remote server. So when he tried to publish, this resulted in some unexpected behavior (endless copy progress in this case).
> Currently, when you create a remote server, the dialog will not let you leave the server home dir empty. But that is not enough. You can still change it in the server editor to be empty. Rob says he wants to remove this field from the server editor and only use the wizard, but that is still not enough - the user can remote the folder on the remote system at a later time.
> We probably don't need to check the folder every time we use it, but at least at the start of each operation such as start/stop server, publish to server.
> Also, the New server dialog checks for empty string, but I'm not 100 % sure if it actually checks that the folder exists.
