[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1877) On updating the tika-mimetypes.xml to detect .fts file format, tika detector does not return anything

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1877:
----------------------------------

Posting the whole modified tika mimetypes file isn't ideal - it's hard for us to see what has changed and what hasn't, especially given the file's large size. Would you be able to post a patch/diff showing just your changes, to help us review and possibly spot the issue?

(I tried diff'ing it to trunk, but got such a large number of changes I couldn't see what was supposed to be your change amongst them)

Ideally, also, it would be easier if you could write a short junit unit test showing the detection issue. That's generally much quicker and easier to test with, as well as having the bonus of proving a check to ensure that post-fix it stays fixed!

> The match value for .fts file format in tika-mimetypes.xml is "SIMPLE  =                    T".
> Tika detected a .fts file as application/octet-stream. On verifying the header I found the value to be "SIMPLE  =                T"(just 16 spaces before = and T)
> I tried the following changes-
> Change 1) Updated the existing match value. But the build failed 
> Change 2) Added a new match value <match value="SIMPLE  =                T" type="string" offset="0"/> after the existing one.
> But now, tika returns empty value. It neither identifies the file as .fts nor as application/octet-stream.
