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>

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.
