Execute task on ubuntu

[buckleyGI]

I have the task working on windows an tried the linux/ubuntu so converting backward slashes to forward slashes. That should do it I think. I get the following error however.
It's searching through the files but gets stuck on linux. Is this a supported scenario and am I forgetting something?

##[error]Failed find: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/home/vsts/work/1/s/Source/Components/Selligent.Components.Albatross.AssetsData/SelligentWebComponent

`pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:

• task: replacetokens@3
  inputs:
  targetFiles: '**/ParanaDigital.py'
  encoding: 'auto'
  writeBOM: true
  actionOnMissing: 'warn'
  keepToken: false
  tokenPrefix: '#{'
  tokenSuffix: '}#'`

Hi @buckleyGI ,

The task is working on linux. Could you activate diagnostic logs at the pipeline level (check the checkbox at the bottom when you run the pipeline) and share your logs?

I confirm that the task does not work on Ubuntu 16.04 with subfolders using recursive pattern. It fails trying to "read" folder as a file.

Thanks @alexeygt, i’ll take a look.

I am using **/* as a pattern by the way. If I specify **\* then task does not crash but it does not do anything at all - don't find any files.

Hello @qetza The log will contain some sensitive information. I'll sanitize it but how do I get it to you securely? There is no option to send a private message on gihthub.

Hi @buckleyGI,
I'll do some testing on my side with the recursive pattern on ubuntu and if i cannot reproduce the issue i'll share an email address with you so that you can share your logs.

Hi @buckleyGI,
I've done some testing and couldn't reproduce the issue using Azure Pipelines ubuntu-16.04 image:

Could you send me your sanitized logs to qetzaco at gmail dote com?

Also if you are using yaml files, could you try defining the task with - task: qetza.replacetokens.replacetokens-task.replacetokens@3

[alexeygt]

Now I see the problem. I'm trying to target any files in the folder with any extension. In your case you target specific files like *.py.
I believe if you try pattern like that: **/* then you'll reproduce the issue.

@alexeygt,
I just released a fix in release 3.2.2 for the issue with pattern returning directory, they are now ignored :)

[buckleyGI]

Thanks @qetza !

[alexeygt]

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[qetza]

@buckleyGI, do you still have your issue or does the latest vesion fixwed it?
