http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26443 zip update=false does not overwrite zip file when file deleted Summary: zip update=false does not overwrite zip file when file deleted Product: Ant Version: 1.6.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the javadoc for zip, if you set update=false, the zip task should overwrite the destination zip file. I have found that this is not the case. I have included an example below that shows that deleting a file and re- zipping does not overwrite the destination zip file. After running the test, view the zip file, and you will notice it still contains file1.txt. If I give the zip a new file name, or remove the old zip first, everything works as expected. <project name="ZipOverwriteProblem" default="test" basedir="."> <description> Zip with update=false is not overwritting zip files when a file is deleted. </description> <target name="test" depends="clean"> <!-- Create a few test files to zip --> <touch file="file1.txt"/> <touch file="file2.txt"/> <!-- Zip the files --> <zip destfile="test.zip" basedir="." includes="file1.txt,file2.txt"/> <!-- Extract the zip into a tmp directory and delete file1.txt --> <mkdir dir="tmpw"/> <unzip src="test.zip" dest="tmpw"/> <delete file="tmpw/file1.txt"/> <!-- Replace test.zip with a new zip that contains the contents of tmpw. This does not work properly. test.zip ends up still containing file1.txt!! According to the zip java doc, if update=false, the zip file should be overwritten. --> <echo message="Overwriting test.zip file"/> <echo message="Manually verify it no longer contains file1.txt"/> <zip destfile="test.zip" update="false" basedir="tmpw"/> </target> <target name="clean"> <delete> <fileset dir="."> <include name="file1.txt"/> <include name="file2.txt"/> <include name="test.zip"/> <include name="tmpw/**"/> </fileset> </delete> </target> </project> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
