Files cannot be uploaded to FTP server when included by Composer from a local 'path' repository

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 27

What happened

Files cannot be uploaded to FTP server when included by Composer from a local 'path' repository.

This started happening after I switched from NetBeans 17 to NetBeans 26, and updating to NetBeans 27 has not helped.

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

PHP Composer project

How to reproduce

Create basic composer project and inside composer.json file, include something like this:

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "../../../Global Libs/dbi/dbi_libs"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "sps/dbi": "*"
    }

Then in terminal on the project folder run composer update

This should create the appropriate 'vendor' directory which includes the files from the source you specified in the composer.json file.

When right-clicking on the 'vendor' folder and selecting upload, it will not upload any of the files from the source you specified in composer.json

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Apache NetBeans 24 or earlier

Operating System

Windlows 11

JDK

24

Apache NetBeans packaging

FoAN provided installer

Anything else

When viewing the directory in Windows Explorer project > vendor > sps

Maybe same issue. Begin from version 26 (and exist in 27). Try upload file from folder symbolic link and nothing happens, but exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File 'C:\Project\web\vendor_folder\yii2-shared-middleware\SomeFile.php' must be underneath base directory 'C:\Project\web\current_project' at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.connections.transfer.LocalTransferFile.(LocalTransferFile.java:52) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.connections.transfer.TransferFile.fromFile(TransferFile.java:168) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.connections.transfer.TransferFile.fromFileObject(TransferFile.java:117) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.connections.RemoteClient.prepareUpload(RemoteClient.java:283) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.ui.actions.UploadCommand.prepareUpload(UploadCommand.java:106) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.ui.actions.UploadCommand.uploadFiles(UploadCommand.java:97) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.ui.actions.UploadCommand.invokeActionImpl(UploadCommand.java:82) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.ui.actions.UploadCommand$1.run(UploadCommand.java:69) at org.netbeans.modules.php.project.ui.actions.RemoteCommand$1.run(RemoteCommand.java:83) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:1403) at org.netbeans.modules.openide.util.GlobalLookup.execute(GlobalLookup.java:45) at org.openide.util.lookup.Lookups.executeWith(Lookups.java:287) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:2018)

I tested this without composer and creating a symlink on windows pointing outside the directory will yield this exception if JDK24 is used.

I suspect we see fallout from https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8355342 here too. We might have to rework the check in the FTP integration, but before we do this, we should wait how the situation will look with a fix for the referenced issue.
