Summary: copy task is inconsistent across platforms w.r.t
creating missing target directories
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7.0
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Scenario:
1. build.xml developed on Windows uses copy tasks which do not assume that
target directories exist.
2. when build.xml executes on Windows, target directories are created if they
do not already exist
3. however, when executed on Linux (SUSE 10), the copy task fails instead of
creating the target directories.
As a result, the build.xml is unnecessarily non-portable since the build fails
when executed on Linux.
Ideal resolution would be to add an option to the copy task that allowed target
the Windows auto-create behaviour to be forced on other platforms if the option
is specified.
This would be backward compatible with existing behaviour and provide an easy
thing to fix for ant users who encounter such issues.
