Rudder

Could you clarify how this affects Rudder users please? When might one encounter this problem (using which Technique, ncf method and which parameters...) and what are the potential undesirable consequences?

This issue may happen with:

• file_copy_from_* methods in the technique editor
• Download files from the shared folder technique with the "digest" comparison method (which is the default)

It occurs when copying source to destination, if destination already exists and has different type (dire, file, symlink, etc.) than source. In this case, the comparison is based on creation time.

It means that if destination was created after source, source will never be copied to destination and a success report will be made.
