Good idea. It initially worked ok, when the directories were empty, but when I added files to each (touch steps below), that caused the script to not delete any files.
And now I see that it does not work on Windows either ... my tests used empty directories. Does this sound like a bug or am I missing some subtlety around resource collections/dirset and non-empty subdirectories... Thanks in advance. Here is my test file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="resource-collection-delete-sample" default="tryit"> <property name="test-dir" value="${basedir}/testdata"/> <target name="setup-files"> <delete dir="${test-dir}"/> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}"/> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/xxfile1"/> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/1"/> <touch file="${test-dir}/1/test"/> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/2"/> <touch file="${test-dir}/2/test"/> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/3"/> <touch file="${test-dir}/3/test"/> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/4"/> <touch file="${test-dir}/4/test"/> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/5"/> <touch file="${test-dir}/5/test"/> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <mkdir dir="${test-dir}/6"/> <touch file="${test-dir}/6/test"/> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <touch file="${test-dir}/44" /> <sleep milliseconds="100" /> <!-- create some files --> </target> <target name="delete-files"> <!-- delete all but last few old release directories --> <resources id="resource-all-dirs"> <dirset dir="${test-dir}" > <filename regex="^\d+$" /> </dirset> </resources> <resources id="resource-last-3-dirs"> <last count="3"> <sort> <dirset dir="${test-dir}" > <filename regex="^\d+$" /> </dirset> <date /> </sort> </last> </resources> <delete verbose="true"> <difference> <resources refid="resource-all-dirs"/> <resources refid="resource-last-3-dirs" /> </difference> </delete> </target> <target name="tryit" depends="setup-files, delete-files"> </target> </project> -----Original Message----- From: Matt Benson [mailto:gudnabr...@gmail.com] Sent: 11 February 2014 14:15 To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Resource collections - Linux vs. windows Can you expand your example into a self-contained example that builds up an appropriate structure first, then still fails on Linux?
