Extraction of custom files/tree from archive is not done during domain creation

[kenneth-olwing]

Hi,

The 1.9.18 release touts this feature:

• User can create a folder in the archive to store custom files like application config, see Deploy application specific config #944

This is then intended to be implemented by PR #969

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Looking at the PR, it adds a line of 'self.library_helper.extract_custom_files()' in topology_updater.py, which (I assume) will do extraction during an update. But during a create, this code is not called. Instead there is an addition of just an empty line in domain_creator.py; I'm assuming the intention was to insert the same extract_custom_files() call there and a test confirms this will indeed cause the files to extract during create.

Thanks,
ken1

Working on this bug

@CarolynRountree i tested the nw WDT (1.9.19).
I had a running domain created with 1.9.18, i added a new auxilary image, and was expecting the custom folder to be expanded on the $DOMAIN_HOME, but not the case.
Could you confirm the update scenario should work?

the 2 custom folder are not extracted to $DOMAIN_HOME

[CarolynRountree]

@belfo We followed the structure of the archive file to extract under wlsdeploy/custom https://oracle.github.io/weblogic-deploy-tooling/concepts/archive/. This is under $DOMAIN_HOME but I take it you need it directly under domain home. Can you clarify what and why please?

[belfo]

@CarolynRountree That was my comprehension of extracting in the idea of "custom is extracted under $DOMAIN_HOME" So i misunderstood.
They why is because we have an app that look for the $DOMAIN_HOME/classes for a config file.

Will look into it to see if it work by having a wlsdeploy/custom in in the path

Thx for the reply
