Paket Pack builds bad pakage when specifying relative target path external to package directory.

[galaxystar]

Paket 2.50.6.0, 3.0.0.40-alpha. Running on Mac.

When I use a target path that is external (and non absolute) to a directory outside of the /packages/group/ directory it results in duplicate files, where the duplicate files are at the wrong path.

I'm using relative paths because I want the install/update for some of my packages to be deployed somewhere other than the packages directory. I know it's an atypical approach but it should still be an approach that is supported.

When I list the files in the package using unzip -l mypackage.1.0.3.nupkg:

Archive:  mypackage.1.0.3.nupkg
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
    16545  02-12-16 17:26   ../../../Assets/Packages/mypackage/Editor/Users/buildcomputer/jenkins/nodes/unitySlave/workspace/<jenkins_job>/Assets/file1.cs   (WRONG!!!)
      262  02-12-16 17:26   ../../../Assets/Packages/mypackage/Editor/Users/buildcomputer/jenkins/nodes/unitySlave/workspace/<jenkins_job>/Assets/file1.cs.meta  (WRONG!!!)
    16545  02-12-16 17:26   ../../../Assets/Packages/mypackage/Editor/file1.cs   (CORRECT)
      262  02-12-16 17:26   ../../../Assets/Packages/mypackage/Editor/file1.cs.meta    (CORRECT)
      533  02-12-16 17:26   mypackage.nuspec
      669  02-12-16 17:26   package/services/metadata/core-properties/coreProp.psmdcp

      541  02-12-16 17:26   [Content_Types].xml
 --------                   -------

A couple things to note:

1. There are duplicates (file1.cs and file1.cs.meta) show up twice in two different paths. The wrong paths have been denoted above with (WRONG!!!!).
2. The wrong files seem to contain a near absolute path, but does not actually contain the full path either. Namely, it's missing the "Editor" folder.

I can't really reproduce, but please try latest version. I changed something that might be related

[flowsprenger]

globbing from 2.50.7 seems to be somewhat broken:

this is a reproducible case:
https://gist.github.com/flowsprenger/8280a7f0f2cf5f64b8b1

it probably does not cover all cases, i see the paket.template being packaged too in the project i am currently working on, but i don't have a simple reproducible case as of now

[forki]

We changed pack in 2.50.9 - can you please try with that version?

[flowsprenger]

I did, the output is from 2.50.9. 2.50.6 is the last that works fine.

[forki]

so I revert 3fcac1d and await a repro from @galaxystar!?

[flowsprenger]

Sounds reasonable to me. Alternatively I can pin Paket's version again, seems we need a mechanism to do this over all our repos anyway.

[forki]

@flowsprenger please try latest

[flowsprenger]

@forki works again :)

[forki]

Would be great if you could contribute your repro as an integration test so
that we don't break it again

@galaxystar since you seem to use unity, maybe its worth having a look at https://github.com/wooga/Paket.Unity3D/ which allows to install using paket.unity3.exe and paket.unity3d.reference files.

@forki alright, shall have a look at how to do that

[forki]

thx would be of great help

[galaxystar]

@forki I just tried 2.50.10 with the same (wrong) results. I have a temp work around (using zip -d to remove the files with the erroneous directory). It's not ideal, but it works in the short term for this special case.

@flowsprenger I looked into Paket.Unity3D. It seems to be abandoned. No forks, no changes in 6 months, 5 issues, most of which were unaddressed and their mono build seems to be failing. I'd prefer to stick with vanilla Paket as it seems to do everything I need it to and gives me the flexibility to swap packages in/out as I see fit (such as when switching platforms).

I'm not near a pc for 2 weeks but if you can come up with a repro I'll try
to address when I'm back.

I just tried with 2.50.10 and it worked locally, but gave me problems on my build machine. I then went through the full installation process for Mac (downloaded repository and installed using the install script) and it worked correctly. I must have had some frankenstein installation through my manual installation process. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!
