Hi,

I'm curious about the status of this ticket. Is it something you're actively working on, or expect to work on in the next week or so? If not, I will implement a temporary workaround on our side, but I thought I'd see where you are before doing that. Thanks!

Hi David,

Thanks for asking. It's not something we're actively working on or expect to work on in the next week. It will definitely get done, but it's probably a few weeks out. Is a narrower glob a sufficient workaround until then?

Hi Troy,

Unfortunately, the glob that we have matches exactly the files that we want to upload, it's just that we have a lot of them, > 1000 per machine per day. :-)

Thanks,
David

Ouch! Is catching the error and dying hard enough of an improvement to be worth doing, or would you need it to elegantly handle the changes (so the error is never reached) in order for such a fix to be useful?
