[Acceleo] Write in linked folder [message #1834391]

Hello !
I develop a model to text transformation with Acceleo and i have a problem with writing in a linked folder in Eclipse.
Here is the problem definition :
I have a Project MAIN, a folder FOO and a subfolder BAR in my eclipse workspace. The subfolder EX in BAR is linked to a folder outside my workspace (ex: D:/data/ex).

MAIN (Project)
- FOO (Folder)
  - BAR (Folder)
    - EX (Linked Folder)

I give the foo folder path to the Java class and set the file path in my main template acceleo like this :
[file ('BAR/EX/test.txt', false)]
Yet the file is not generated at D:/data/ex/test.txt but at workspace/main/foo/bar/ex/test.txt

Is it possible ?

Thank you,

Regards,

Hi

Probably not. I gave up using 'linked' folders once I discovered that each OS had a different behaviour. I doubt anyone has tested it and doubt even more that such a niche/self-inflicted bug will be fixed. Don't use linked folders.
