item-type=directory ?

OK I am looking at a filelist deployment, if I include a dir in the filelist, the deployment automatically adds the files underneath

So I am unfamiliar with a OD conf setting that tells it to traverse the directory and send everything.

Can anyone tell me what is happening ?

OK, so I was running a test (OD 6.2 Win2K) when I had a dir of:

some/dir/

then it only creates the folder, but if you send
some\dir\

using backslashes then it pushes all the files underneath.

Since the filelist is created in a Perl script you cannot do something like $file=tr|\\|/|;

because OD wants the backslashes there.

Does this make sense ?

Open a case with Support - it sounds like a bug to me (OD should handle forward slashes on Windows)

I'm not sure about the highlighted statement though. You could certainly re-transpose all the paths before putting them into your filelist:

use File::Temp qw(tempfile);
...
tr|/|\\| foreach(@files);
my($fh, $fname) = tempfile();
print $fh join("\n", @files) . "\n";
close($fh);
...

Or am I missing some aspect that prevents you from doing that?

Yes I have opened a case with support. You are correct, it can be transposed and then changed back. Or not at all. Special cases like this really screw things up.

Did you check out Patch 1 for OD 6.2?

Can't find it, strange but I do not see OD 6.2 on the site (nor any patches for 6.2) I can see 6.1

Checked the filelist deployment on OD 62 (WIN2K3). In the filelist.txt, initially I had:

dir1
dir2\dir3

where inside "dir1" there are few files and also there were files inside dir2\dir3

The filelist deployment deployed directories as well as files.

Then changed filelist.txt to:

dir1
dir2/dir3 (using forward slash)

Now also it deployed both directories and files.

So you can either use "/" or "\" in filelist, which should deploy directories as well as files.

Yea I noticed that too, but it is not consistent. Support could not reproduce it however you are not the only one I know of that has seen it. Funny thing is that what you saw is opposite from my results. If I put dir\subdir everything worked, if I put dir/subdir it failed but if I added the trailing slash it worked again (dir/subdir/)

Too buggy and inconsistent for me I am adding all files to the list and sending them.

If you can, try filing a case with support because this is a bug, but since they could not reproduce it they did not file one.

you must use OD6.2.0 with patch1 to resolve this inconsistency.it was a problem with earlier OD releases.
