You need to set failonerror="true" to kill the build when the delete fails. Of course, Ant is depending upon the OS to give it a "proper" exit value from the delete command. I can't say for certain whether UNC paths might be cause problems in this respect. BTW, why are you using UNC anyway. Normal

Hey guys, I had made a mistake in my test script to see if it failed when trying to deleted a directory that does exist. It does indeed fail, likely due to access permissions, as I cannot delete the file through explorer either. However, I'm still curious as to why delete is silent when the UNC pat

It doesn't fail when the directory exists or does not exist. However, when the directory does exist, it is not deleted. It should either succeed and deleted the directory, or fail if it can't delete the directory or the directory does not exist. However, it's succeeding for all cases. On Thu, Feb

Does it fail when the directory does exist? Try printing out "out.parent.dir" and see what it is equal to: Maybe the backslashes are being misinterpreted somehow. Another possibility has to do with the way UNC paths work. Ant may not be playing so friendly with them. It could be that Ant is re
