Thilina Dampahala updated IO-300:
---------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: I have added a check before deleting the source directory; so that the it
only proceeds with the deletion if the source directory not on the target path.)
> FileUtils.moveDirectoryToDirectory removing source directory
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-300
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: dennis lucero
>
> Since moveDirectoryToDirectory performs a copy then delete, if you specify a
> target directory that is a subdirectory of the source, everything under the
> source directory is deleted.
> Steps to recreate:
> File dest = new File("/tmp/dir1/dir2");
> File src = new File("/tmp/dir1/");
> dest.mkdirs();
> System.out.println(src.exists());
> FileUtils.moveDirectoryToDirectory(src, dest, false);
> System.out.println(src.exists());
> Output:
> true
> false
> If you try the same thing with a move command on Linux, you receive: "mv:
> cannot move `dir1/' to a subdirectory of itself, `dir1/dir2/dir1'"
> Maybe throw an exception if
> dest.getCanonicalPath().startsWith(src.getCanonicalPath())
