DO NOT REPLY [Bug 52058] New: delete feed by resourcelist does not delete not empty directories

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52058

             Bug #: 52058
           Summary: delete feed by resourcelist does not delete not empty
                    directories
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.8.2
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: andreas.daab@getit.de
    Classification: Unclassified


The following code gets a file list to delete with resourcelist. Files from
file list will be deleted, but directories containing anything won't. Empty
directories in file list will be deleted.

<delete includeemptydirs="true" defaultexcludes="false">
  <resourcelist>                
    <file file="${delete.file}" />
  </resourcelist>
</delete>

Ant should behave like passing the directory by dir-attribute and delete
recursively.

And how do I delete directory trees with a file as source?

from <delete>'s manual

> no attempt will be made to delete non-empty directories in any case

and a bit later it talks about the one case that is different from historic
reasons.

So not deleting the non-empty dirs is not a bug but rather the intended
behavior.
