There are currently issues where the non-.exe-suffixed files can't be copied into the `artifacts` folder; `cp` claims "File exists". Previously this worked but the suffix was added by Cygwin so all files in `artifacts` had a `.exe` suffix anyway. This is evidently intended, though non-intuitive, behavior: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/cygwin/2009-08/msg00293.html > On Cygwin, you should avoid having a file "foo" and a file "foo.exe" > in the same directory at all cost to avoid puzzeling POSIX borderline > behaviour like this. What you do is essentially in the "not > supported" class of problems. > [...] Cygwin does not check for a file "foo", if the name of the file > is explicitely given as "foo.exe". Apparently something similar was addressed in PR ArduPilot#20926; the current code installs files with both suffixes, but that fix contradicts the info above and now has broken. This PR changes the code to only install .exe-suffixed files, as opposed to only non-.exe-suffixed files, which was the behavior before that PR.

Using the master branch exposed us to transient breakage as the action was developed.

Looks like the root cause for the change in observed behavior was us using the master branch of the Cygwin install action, which had a bug for a little while that caused it to install the testing versions of packages by default. It's now fixed in the master branch so CI will work again as is, but I've added another commit to use the latest released version (which includes the fix for that bug) instead. It's also probably best to fix our misuse of the .exe extension now. |
