I need to test this with a symlinked directory before merging. |

Can you make this if cfg!(windows)
so the branch gets checked when compiling on unix?

Okay, I mean, weird things happen if you include a symlink directory. On macOS, if you run create a symlink directory in |
Summary
For context, we have three extraction paths:
.tar.gz
, local or remote.We use three different crates for these:
tokio-tar
async-zip
zip-rs
These all seem to have different support for symlinks:
tokio-tar
tries to create a symlink (which works fine on Unix but errors on Windows, since we typically don't have elevated permissions).async-zip
seems to write the target contents directly to the file (which is what we want).zip-rs
apparently writes the name of the target to the file (which isn't what we want).Thankfully, symlinks are not allowed in wheels (pypa/pip#5919, https://discuss.python.org/t/symbolic-links-in-wheels/1945), so we can ignore
zip-rs
.For
tokio-tar
, we now skip (and warn) if we see a symlink on Windows. We could do what pip does, and recursively copy, but it's difficult because we don't haveSeek
on the file. (Alternatively, we could use hard links and junctions, though those also might need to exist already.) Let's see how far this gets us.(We also no longer attempt to set permissions on symlinks on Unix, which caused another failure.)
Closes #1858.
