Torrent file not read if torrent/ directory is a symlink

[8a8al00ey]

JackOfAllTradesApplication v2.1.33 using Java 11.0.17 What I noticed is if you currently have torrents in the torrent dir, ie stop then start joal, when joal starts up again it does not read in those existing torrents. Using CLI only here.

Are you sure you have placed your torrent at the right place? Can you share your command line to start joal, your config file, and your folder structure?

To get it to start reading the torrent files again after a restart I do this mv *.torrent start/ && mv start/*.torrent . Basically move the files out of the torrent dir and then back in

Can you share the log of joal when doing the following:

I have a feeling that it may be due to the symbolic link. Can you try without the simlink to validate that this is your issue? IF so i'll apply a fix.

[8a8al00ey]

Yup seems like this issue is related to the symlink. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-741 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-749. I tested the snapshot version and it started up fine. I have a workaround so no biggie.

[anthonyraymond]

Ok, i'll try to update when common-io:2.12.0 is released : https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-io/commons-io

Last release was Jul 13, 2021, not sure when to expect 2.12.0...

[anthonyraymond]

Hello,

Version 2.1.34 has been released. It includes common-io:2.12.0 and should fix the issue.
