Item14421: Bad behaviour when a pub subdir is processed by the file generator
Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In: n/a
Target Release:
The generation of referenced files was trying to find and publish System/JQueryPlugin. In that directory is a set of subdirectories - a pattern which is legal, but strongly discouraged, because subdirectories in pub are invisible to Foswiki. When the plugin tried to publish the referenced plugins directory, it got null data,which caused an exception that
sometimes causes the generator to stop, sometimes doesn't.
So the fix is to make it tolerate this bad pattern. And the open question is why it sometimes fails, sometimes not.
