copy failonerror

[Doug Moore <do...@ouncelabs.com>]

I would like the build to fail if a source file included in a
<fileset><patterset> does not exist. I am using the default of
failonerror, so that is true. But it only fails if the source directory
does not exist ( this seems broken too according to the manual ). If the
file does not exist I don't even get a warning which the doc says it
does.

 

Is this broke or am I misunderstanding this.

One feature of a fileset is, that the patterns may match nothing.
There is no notion of "missing files" in a fileset, so copy doesn't
know that something isn't there.
