------------------------------------------------------------
Hello [~danblum]
Thank you for your report. Would you please test with the current version
2.12.0?
The attached class does not easily demonstrate anything:
* It's not a unit test
* There are ZERO comments or instructions on how to use it
* When I run as is it I get:
{quote}Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
{quote}
* If I try to guess and pass it one argument, a folder that does not exist
like c:\tmp\test where c:\tmp\ exists but c:\tmp\test does not, I get:
{quote}Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at FileUtilsTest.main(FileUtilsTest.java:32)
{quote}
Please provide a useable unit test or _something_ repeatable.
TY

> FileUtils.forceDelete may silently not delete directories
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-774
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-774
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0
> Environment: I am using CentOS 7 and Java 8.
> Reporter: Daniel Blum
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: FileUtilsTest.java
>
>
> Using Linux on NFS, if a file is in use and you delete it, the original file
> is in fact deleted but a ".nfs" file will be left in the directory until the
> thread or process using the file releases its handle. This prevents the
> directory containing from being deleted. The upshot is that if forceDelete is
> called on a directory and there is a file anywhere underneath it which
> something has open, some of the tree will not be deleted with no exception
> being thrown.
> I have attached a simple program which demonstrates the issue.
