7zip action limit to 1000 files?

Continua CI Bugs
1

I came across a problem where zip files produces using 7zip action in Continua configurations, seem to be missing some files.
For debugging I added the “log files matching pattern”, and what I saw is that it always showed that 1000 files matched the pattern.
I am guessing that there are a lot more files than 1000.

Also the files that were missing were shown in the log with files matching pattern but did not show up in zip file.

Is there a limit to number of files for zipping ?
When I zip manually using 7zip all looks OK.

Hi Arik,

There is a limit of 1000 on the number of files listed in the log. This is to prevent the potential for the log to blow out in size. We will update the messages to make this clear, and perhaps also make this number configurable.

This does not limit the number of files added to the 7Zip command line. The actual number of files is displayed in the 7Zip command output. e.g.

It may help to diagnose this issue, if you add a “Run DOS Command” action, before your 7Zip action, with the Command “DIR /s /b *” and the full path to the “build-output” folder as the Working Directory.
