Phing Copy Files Task
Copy files with better control over copying than the default Phing CopyTask
.
The main disadvantage of the default task is that it ignores the overwrite="false"
setting (which is also default) and if the source file is newer, it always rewrites the target file (see phingofficial/phing#538). This is unexpected and potentially very dangerous behaviour especially when copying configuration files etc.
CopyFilesTask
has much narrower use-cases, but offers you more control about the copied files. It works only with files (not directories or filesets) and you can specify how exactly each of the files should be copied and what to do when the target already exists.
Usage
To copy a file you can just write:
The paths are relative to the location of the buildfile. If you want to use absolute paths, you can write paths using ${project.basedir}
, which contains the location of the buildfile.
You can also copy multiple files within one task definition:
Target file exists mode
If the target file already exists, there are three modes how you can choose that the situation will be handled:
1) skip
(default) - copying of the file is skipped (and logged to output)
2) replace
- always replace target file, even if it exists
3) fail
- do not overwrite the target file and fail the build
You can set the mode for all files at once with existsmode
parameter on <copy-files>
:
And also for each <file>
, meaning it will override the <copy-files>
setting:
