Description Miguel Perez Colino 2020-03-04 16:58:07 UTC

Description of problem:
Smart State Analysis (SSA) is configured to gather a file (and contents) and fails to do so.
The file `release` is under a linked folder `/usr/java/default` that is a link to `/usr/java/latest` which itself is a link to `/usr/java/jdk-11.0.6`

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CF 5.0.4 (CFME 5.11.4)

How reproducible:
Create a SSA profile with `/usr/java/default/release` included and try gathering it

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a SSA profile with `/usr/java/default/release` in the file list (retrieve content enabled)
2. Apply to a virtual machine with Oracle jdk-11.0.6 installed

Actual results:
No file gathered, does not show in the list of files for VM

Expected results:
File gathered, shows in the list of files for VM

Additional info:
Used for JDK detection for Migration Analytics.

Comment 6 Jerry Keselman 2020-03-24 19:11:56 UTC

PR https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-smartstate/pull/117 fixes this problem.  When one component of a path had multiple symbolic links only the first was followed.  The PR follows all links for each component.

Comment 7 Jerry Keselman 2020-03-27 16:16:25 UTC

PR merged and version 0.5.4 of manageiq-smartstate released.
