Was there a change to filelist in later version of Ant?
All,
Forgive me if I should know this :( For reasons work related, I'm still
back in Ant 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 versions...
I was curious if something changed in Ant 1.8.3 (could have been some
earlier release but someone using my Ant scripts is on 1.8.3) where using
a file list with child file elements is failing when one of the child file
elements refers to a file that is non-existent.
For example:
<copy todir="/tmp/foo">
<filelist dir="/tmp">
<file name="alpha.txt"/>
<file name="beta.txt"/>
</filelist>
<copy>
It just so happens the second one (beta.xml) doesn't exist. In 1.7x days,
this worked fine. If using 1.8.3 or 1.8.4, I am get an error message
stating Warning: Could not find resource file "/tmp/beta.txt"
Yes, contrived example :) Script is actually much more ;)

Stephen,
Awesome! That explains a bunch :) I ended up changing my script to
fileset before I received your response.
Really appreciate the follow-up...

I think it's copy that has changed:
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ant/core/trunk/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Copy.java?r1=718387&r2=786504>
for

You'll need to set failonerror to false or use a fileset (which will
swallow the non-existent files) rather than a filelist.
