-----------------------------------

             Summary: tika-batch tests fail on systems with whitespace or special chars in folder name
                 Key: TIKA-1757
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1757
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Uwe Schindler


This is one problem that forbiddenapis des not catch, because the method affected has valid use cases: {{URL#getFile()}} or {{URL#getPath()}} both return the URL path, which should never be treated as a file system path (for file: URLs). This is breaks asap, if the path contains special characters which may not be part of URL. getFile() and getPath() return the encoded path.

The correct way to transform a file URL to a file is: {{new File(url.toURI())}}. See also the list of "bad stuff" as listed by the Maven community for Mojos/Plugins.

In fact the affected test should not use a file at all. Instead it should use {{Class#getResourceAsStream()}}.
