------------------------------------
Summary: XTestCase.delete() can cause tests to fail if it runs
into a dangling symlink
Key: OOZIE-1037
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1037
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Robert Kanter
Assignee: Robert Kanter
Priority: Minor
Fix For: trunk
Java 6 doesn't handle symlinks very well; as a result, if you have a dangling
symlink (a symlink who's target has been deleted), Java's {{File.exists()}}
method returns false on the symlink file. So, when {{XTestCase.delete()}} is
trying to delete a directory, it first has to empty the directory, but the
current implementation skips any dangling symlinks because it checks
{{exists()}} on each file in the directory; later it will fail when trying to
delete the directory itself because its not empty.
