--- Comment #2 from Stefan Bodewig <[email protected]> --- most likely this is referring to the nul device on Windows. NUL: on DOS (and CP/M) was what is /dev/null on Unix-likes, I think Windows renamed it to nul without the colon, but may be wrong. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_file#DOS,_TOS,_OS/2,_and_Windows This looks as if we didn't try to resolve output's file name before 1.10.2. Maybe the file name resolution logic in FileUtils needs to special case "nul" and "nul:" on Windows (and with it "CON:", "PRN:", "COM1:" and some other things - yes, I am old ;-). @Roedy if "discard the output" is what you want, can you use outputproperty as a workaround? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
