Hi,
I upgraded my LAVA instance to 2025.04 yesterday I skipped one release and the upgrade was from 2024.09. Most of the jobs I run in use deploy-to-flasher with custom script handling the board flashing. Up until 2024.09 (I don't know about 2025.02) "downloads" URLs resulted in all files stored in a flat directory. My flashing scripts made use of this "feature". In 2025.04 this has changed. This commit: https://gitlab.com/lava/lava/-/commit/4d9f0ebdae9ca53baf6633f4a35e716183bd29... makes the files stored in separate directories. It feels like a step in a right direction but it broke my flashing scripts. To make a quick fix I did this in the beginning of the script:
DOWNLOAD_DIRS=$(find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -printf '%f ') for d in $DOWNLOAD_DIRS; do FILE_TO_COPY=$(find ./$d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type f -printf '%f') ln "$PWD/$d/$FILE_TO_COPY" "$PWD/$FILE_TO_COPY" done
This isn't great but it solves the issue for now. After a short discussion with Chase we came to conclusion that solution that looks "more correct" is to implement support for "uniquify" for "download" URLs. Chase sent a patch here: https://gitlab.com/lava/lava/-/merge_requests/2795
This should be available in the next release.
I hope this message helps someone with similar issues :)
Best Regards, Milosz
