ascli is adding multiple packages to source path on downloads (receive)

[dremerten]

I'm running into an issue with ascli and downloading ALL packages from a Shared_inbox Faspex5 version: 5.0.6.1GA

1. I'm sending 10 Packages to a shared_inbox (linux_single) with expiration policy anyone. 2. Next I'm wanting to download ALL package from the shared inbox via ascli with this command:

ascli faspex5 packages receive ALL --once-only=yes --box=$SHARED_INBOX  --to-folder=./automated_downloaded_packages --log-level=debug --insecure=yes > $FILE

RESULT It successfully downloads 2 packages and the remaining 8 fail with

ISSUE: Here is the comparison between ascli's download transfer_spec(FAILS) VS connect's download transfer_spec (SUCCEEDS)

The Gotcha is if I repeat the ascli cmd a total of 5times ( successfully downloading 2 Packages at a time). Then I can download all 10 Packages.

You win a prize for finding a bug, thank you...

beta with fix: https://ibm.biz/aspera-cli-beta

The problem was that a variable got changed in the loop, and the "source", got erroneously the path of 2 packages concatenated...

Nice! Thank you for your speedy fix!

Tested with dev build

ascli --version
4.15.0.pre
