http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29585 Filelist's behaving like filesets - Require files to be present in order to be included. Summary: Filelist's behaving like filesets - Require files to be present in order to be included. Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Filelists are supposed to be list of files which may or maynot exist as apposed to filesets which compose of files which must exist. When I pass a filelist to a apply task it skips the files if they dont exist. The target definition is as follows... <target name="test"> <apply dir="." executable="something.exe"> <arg value="param1"/> <srcfile/> <filelist id="test.me" dir="." files="test2.tst test1.tst"/> </apply> </target> The problem seems to reside in this section of the code in org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs ... File f = new File(base, names[j]); if ((f.isFile() && !"dir".equals(type)) || (f.isDirectory() && !"file".equals(type))) { if (f.isFile()) { totalFiles++; } else { totalDirs++; } When I comment out this code the files are added as desired. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
