Separator in Window

[ccarlenzoli]

I'm using the tool in Openshift working perfectly but when I tried to test on my Notebook some features of my application I ended up with an error on managing Folders.
Since I'm working on Windows I understood that problem is related to a wrong management of file separator.
I did a workaround at line 1518 of S3ProxyHanlder changing this code

switch (metadata.getType()) {
case FOLDER:
// fallthrough
case RELATIVE_PATH:
if (delimiter != null) {
commonPrefixes.add(metadata.getName());
continue;
}
break;
default:
break;
}

in

switch (metadata.getType()) {
case FOLDER:
// fallthrough
case RELATIVE_PATH:
if (delimiter != null) {
commonPrefixes.add(metadata.getName().replace(File.separatorChar, '/'));
continue;
}
break;
default:
break;
}

following the same code LocalBlobStore (jclouds) is doing in its filterDirectory method.

Hope you will officially fix this behavior so I will use the new version from Maven Repo...otherwise I have to keep a local copy :)

This sounds like a problem in the underlying jclouds filesystem provider. I don't have access to a Windows system so this is hard for me to test. Instead could you try the new filesystem-nio2 storage backed to see if it already resolves your symptoms?

I can try. Btw the issue is due to the fact that jclouds return a path using Windows separator (aka \ ) and this when returned causes a problem when reentering as new prefix. I did the substitution using the separatorChar to be compliant with any OS not using / as separator. I will try filesystem-nio2

Please test filesystem-nio2 with the latest master or 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT from Maven. If you would like to contribute a fix to jclouds filesystem this is fine but it is better to focus on the newer filesystem-nio2 storage backend which will replace the former.
