Can't copy file mentioned in @ConcordionResources error

[Toby Weston]

Hi Folks,

I posted this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55250429/concordion-can-not-copy-resource-all-of-a-sudden as I'm stumped. 

I intermittently get failures where the resource mentioned by @ConcordionResources can't be found. 

It feels like something isn't copying the files over as part of the build cycle (the file in question exists in src but not in the /tmp folder).

My friend can reproduce this every time (on a linux machine) and I see it every so often on a Mac (where it seems to fix itself).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Toby

Hi Toby

Thanks for reporting this.

I've reproduced it by removing the target folder as you stated in StackOverflow. The problem is that the FileTarget#createOutputStream(Resource) method is unable to create an OutputStream.

Assuming your fixture is in the a.b.c package, Concordion is trying to create an OutputStream for the file "<concordion.output.dir>/a/b/c/../../../concordion.css" (where <concordion.output.dir> is the concordion output directory). If the "<concordion.output.dir>/a/b/c/" folder does not already exist this fails - it seems that Java does not automatically "normalize" the path to remove ".."s.

The solution will be to normalize the path (probably using Path.normalize()).

To resolve, you can either update to the 2.2.1 release which should be available soon, or use absolute paths (eg. @ConcordionResources("/concordion.css")).

Sorry, the release will take longer and won't just be a patch release - we're going to need to update to Java 7 for Path.normalize().
