Action VSS Add File(s) bug nested identical foldernames are not recursively added to vss

FinalBuilder Bugs

Hi
If I use the Source Safe action “VSS Add File(s)” and add a folder tree recursively, it seems that it cannot add two folders with the identical names if they are nested in a subdirectory.
Make a folder on the disk called testRecursive place a subfolder called test and another subfolder called test as well. Place some dummy files and use the add action
Example:
C:\testRecursive
C:\testRecursive\test
C:\testRecursive\newdoc.txt
C:\testRecursive\test\test
C:\testRecursive\test\test\anotherdoc.txt
C:\testRecursive\test\test\yetanother.txt
 
Only the first test folder is added, I don’t know if this is a VSS bug or a Finalbuilder bug.
Finalbuilder version 5.0.0.130
ss.exe version 8.0.50727.42

Hi Martin

We’ll check this out on Monday, this looks like a bug to me. What are you specifying for the Files field. I suspect if you use a filespec, for example *.txt then recursion will fail because the directory test will not match.

Hi Vincent

The filepec is *.*

But the action dosen't fail but only the first of the folders with the same name is added to vss. if the second folder is renamed it will work.

Hi Martin,

There was a bug in the VSS Add Files action, exactly as you described. Sorry it took us a while to get back to you.

Here’s a test build with the fix:

Please let us know how you go.
