Strange behaviour tFileCopy, creates sub-directory with file name it has to copy

Jacco_De_Zwart — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 07:46:50 GMT

Hi all,

I'm using the tFileCopy component to move a file that need to be processed in an DI-Job.

Based on context variables I perform the following :

context.fileName = "inlees_vessel_file.xlsx"

context.processFilePath = "/mnt/Talend/working/InleesFile/inprocess/"

the tFileCopy component:

When executed the file is copied to :

\mnt\Talend\working\InleesFile\inprocess\inlees_vessel_file.xlsx\inlees_vessel_file.xlsx

Why is there a sub-directory with the same name as the file (the bold part) created ??? This behaviour is the same on run-time engine on linux as it is in Studio on a windows environment.

Using the checkboxes for 'Create the directory if it doesn't exists' does not influence the result.

Any help or suggestions are welcome.

I use Studio Cloud API Services Platform (R2025-01v2)

Have you tried using the value in context.processFilePath (without the trailing slash)? E.g. /mnt/Talend/working/InleesFile/inprocess

Try removing the context.filename in your Destination directory.
