Windows Incompatibility with Symlinks causes issues using 'Latest' configuration version #20

Open J-81 opened 1 year ago

J-81 commented 1 year ago

Root Issue: • The ‘Latest’ configuration points to a symlink file that redirects to the latest version (for Microarray currently ‘0’). • This works fine for OS that support symlinks; however, Windows doesn’t resulting in ‘Latest’ to act as a malformed configuration file rather than a redirector.

Planned Fix: • Latest configuration file will converted to a true copy to enable compatibility on OS that don’t support symlinks.

Current Workaround: • Use ‘0’ configuration version directly rather than relying on ‘Latest’ to redirect to version ‘0’.
