Summary: Touch tasks ignores errors from
java.io.File.setLastModified under some conditions
Product: Ant
Version: 1.8.1
Platform: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The ant touch task currently ignores error conditions coming back from the
java.io.File.setLastModified call under some conditions.
To reproduce, take the following steps. Assume for the sake of the test that
there are two users - userA and userB - in a group called "testusers".
1. Create a file called foo.txt. Ensure that this file is owned by userA and
group writeable - I used 664 as the permissions mask.
2. As userB, run an ant script containing <touch file="foo.txt" />.
The script will execute fully, but fail silently - the failure result coming
back from the java.io.File.setLastModified call inside touch is ignored. The
failure in this case is appropriate; however, the user should be alerted to the
issue.
