How Can I make gsutil cp skip false symlinks?

Question

I am using gsutil to upload a folder which contains symlinks, the problem is that some of these files are false symlinks ( Unfortunately, that's the case)

Here is an example of the command I am using:

gsutil -m cp -c -n -e -L output-upload.log -r output gs://my-storage

and I get the following:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'output/1231/file.mp4'
CommandException: 1 file/object could not be transferred.

Is there a way to make gsutil skip this file or fail safely without stopping the upload ?

Answer 1

This was a bug in gsutil (which it looks like you reported here) and it will be fixed in gsutil 4.23.
