I am having difficulty with using the fileExists tool in regards to symlink folders. The following if(fileExists("last_working")) refers to a folder in the current directory that are symlinked to a real folder. My Jenkins job is executed on a Linux machine, MacOS machine, and a Windows machine that is using the Cygwin terminal in a parallel workflow. I have verified that fileExists works for Linux and MacOS, but it is failing for my Windows/Cygwin job. Is this the intent of fileExists, or should it work for my Windows exector?
Jenkins setup:
Jenkins: 2.249.3
OS: Linux - 4.4.0-128-generic
Java: 1.8.0_242 - Oracle Corporation (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM)
