Summary: DeleteTask: The directory does not exist. error
Initial Comment:
When using the <delete> task I get the message:
[delete] Cannot delete
directory 'C:\Source\SPP_Admin\SPP\bin'. The
directory does not exist. when infact the directory does
exist. Even though there is an error it still deletes the
directory. Using failonerror avoids failure but I am still
getting garabe in my log.
This only happens for some directories. Here is my
<delete> tasks, the first one always works while the
second one doesnt.
<delete dir="${build.dir}/${project.name}/bin"
failonerror="false" />
<delete dir="${build.dir}/${project.name}/obj"
failonerror="false" />
and here is my output:
[delete] Deleting
directory 'C:\Source\SPP_Admin\SPPAPI\bin'.
[delete] C:\Source\SPP_Admin\SPPAPI\SPPAPI.build
(60,4):
[delete] Cannot delete
directory 'C:\Source\SPP_Admin\SPPAPI\obj'. The
directory does not exist.
I also tried adding an 'if=' to the task and that doesnt
change anything. I tried using the <if> task as well and
here are those results:
[echo] Directory C:\Source\SPP_Admin/Navigation/obj
exists
[delete]
C:\Source\SPP_Admin\Navigation\Navigation.build(61,5):
[delete] Cannot delete
directory 'C:\Source\SPP_Admin\Navigation\obj'. The
directory does not exist.
[echo] Directory C:\Source\SPP_Admin/Navigation/bin
exists
[delete] Deleting
directory 'C:\Source\SPP_Admin\Navigation\bin'.
and here are the <if> tasks:
<if test="${not directory::exists('${build.dir}/
${project.name}/obj')}">
<echo message="Directory ${build.dir}/
${project.name}/obj exists" />
<delete dir="${build.dir}/${project.name}/obj"
failonerror="false" />
</if>
<if test="${not directory::exists('${build.dir}/
${project.name}/bin')}">
<echo message="Directory ${build.dir}/
${project.name}/bin exists" />
<delete dir="${build.dir}/${project.name}/bin"
failonerror="false" />
</if>

I forgot about my exists logic, it is backwards but it worked
with the not and wasnt working without it. Didnt make sense
to me either...
Using your example does work, and fixed my issues.
Thanks.
My conclusion is now that the documentation for
directory:exists and file:exists could be improved.

The logic of your <if> tasks does not seem correct: you're
only removing directories if they do not exist.
Also, in function calls you don't need to enclose property
names in ${..}.
Try using this:
<delete dir="${build.dir}/${project.name}/bin"
if="${directory::exists(build.dir + '/' + project.name + '/bin')}" />
I for one think that behaviour of the <delete> task sucks: it
should not fail if the directory that you're trying to delete does
not exist.
