Cannot rename data objects and collections via the globus interface

[mstfdkmn]

Bug Report

iRODS Version, OS and Version

4.3.0 almalinux8

What did you try to do?

Through the globus web interface,

• I tried to rename an object in iRODS
• I tried to rename a collection in iRODS

Expected behavior

Renamed data objects and collections in iRODS

Observed behavior (including steps to reproduce, if applicable)

Even though the globus interface shows objects are renamed, in fact they are not renamed and this can be verified when clicked refreshed list.

Can you provide a log that shows what happens when this is attempted?

Also, is there a way to simulate this via command line utilities? I don't have access to the globus GUI interface.

Hi, apparently I didn't see this or somehow skipped it. Sorry for this!

Can you provide a log that shows what happens when this is attempted?

I don't see anything both in the logs of irods and in the logs globus. As if clients don't communicate with server yet.

Also, is there a way to simulate this via command line utilities? I don't have access to the globus GUI interface.

The CLI does behave exactly as the GUI. Please see my screenshot below that shows an existing object, the rename operation and the result.

I don't have that "globus" command and I don't think it is possible to do it via globus-url-copy. That said, I think I was able to reproduce this via ftp. I will take a look at implementing this.

Looking at the code, we need to support GLOBUS_GFS_CMD_RNTO in globus_l_gfs_iRODS_command.

In addition, there is a switch statement and the default for it just returns. I think that should be updated to return some type of not supported error as well.

If there's an error that indicates that, sounds appropriate to me.
