http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22863 Can't just rename a directory with the move task Summary: Can't just rename a directory with the move task Product: Ant Version: 1.5.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find myself having to resort to the <rename> task instead of the <move> task, for just renaming a directory efficiently (i.e. without actually moving each file in its subtree individually). Using <move> would clearly be preferred, since <rename> is deprecated in favor of it -- but <move> makes me wait far too long. I tried several variants of <move>: <move todir="${parent}/${newname}"> <fileset dir="${parent}/${oldname}"/> </move> <move todir="${parent}/${newname}"> <fileset dir="${parent}" includes="${oldname}"/> </move> <move todir="${parent}"> <fileset dir="${parent}" includes="${oldname}"/> <mapper type="glob" from="${oldname}" to="${newname}"/> </move> <move todir="${parent}"> <fileset dir="${parent}"/> <mapper type="glob" from="${oldname}" to="${newname}"/> </move> but they all resulted in a heavy-duty hard-disk-crunching file operation, which is is completely unnecessary, and the <rename> task doesn't do that. It may be that there *is* a way to do a simple directory rename using <move> ... if so, then there is still a bug: the bug is that it is not at all easy to figure out how to do that! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
