[jira] [Commented] (IO-741) FileUtils.listFiles does not list matching files if File parameter is a symbolic link

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

Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue when using this signature :

{code:java}
public static Collection<File> listFiles(final File directory, final IOFileFilter fileFilter, final IOFileFilter dirFilter)
{code}
Calling :
{code:java}
FileUtils.listFiles(symlink, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE);
{code}
does return the symlink only, not the content of the linked folder.

> This is a regression from 2.6.0.  We are using the following FileUtils utility function to list matching files under a directory:
> {noformat}
> public static Collection<File> listFiles(File directory, String[] extensions, boolean recursive){noformat}
>  
> In particular the call we are making is:
> {noformat}
> FileUtils.listFiles(extension, new String[]{"jar"}, false);{noformat}
> This used to return all matching files in 2.6.0 when the directory was a symlink, but it no longer does. Breaking through the code in a debugger, I was able to manually add the FileVisitOptions.FOLLOW_LINKS option, but this is not specifiable from an external caller outside of commons-io.
