Adam Kewley commented on IO-575:
--------------------------------
Ok, thanks for clarifying - I thought as much, but wanted to bring it to the
dev's attention.
I need the feature in my software because it executes arbitrary files at
runtime so, in my case, I implemented a `FileVisitor`, almost exactly as
Oracle's example:
[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/FileVisitor.html]
(again, just in case other devs need it)
> copyDirectory (all overloads) does not maintain file permissions

> Key: IO-575
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-575
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Adam Kewley
> Priority: Minor
>
> I found that permissions (specifically, execute) are not maintained when
> using copyDirectory. The following test demonstrates the behavior:**
>
> {code:java}
> Path sourceDir = Files.createTempDirectory("source-dir");
> String filename = "some-file";
> Path sourceFile = Files.createFile(sourceDir.resolve(filename));
> assertThat(sourceFile.toFile().canExecute()).isFalse();
> sourceFile.toFile().setExecutable(true);
> assertThat(sourceFile.toFile().canExecute()).isTrue();
> Path destDir = Files.createTempDirectory("some-empty-destination");
> FileUtils.copyDirectory(sourceDir.toFile(), destDir.toFile());
> Path destFile = destDir.resolve(filename);
> assertThat(destFile.toFile().exists()).isTrue();
> assertThat(destFile.toFile().canExecute()).isTrue(); // fails
> {code}
> Is it working as intended that the permissions are not copied over?
>
