Bug ID: 63956
Summary: <delete> with followSymlinks="false" fails to delete
directory
Product: Ant
Version: 1.10.5
Hardware: Macintosh
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
$ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.5 compiled on July 10 2018
This task simply does not work:
<delete dir="somedir" followSymlinks="false"/>
Example:
When I run "ant" with this "build.xml":
<project name="ant-bug" default="test">
<target name="test">
<echo message="creating somedir..."/>
<mkdir dir="somedir"/>
<echo message="showing somedir (it should be there)..."/>
<exec executable="/bin/ls" logError="true" failonerror="true">
<arg value="-ld"/>
<arg value="somedir"/>
</exec>
<echo message="deleting somedir..."/>
<delete dir="somedir" followSymlinks="false"/>
<echo message="showing somedir (it should NOT be there)..."/>
<exec executable="/bin/ls" logError="true" failonerror="true">
<arg value="-ld"/>
<arg value="somedir"/>
</exec>
</target>
</project>
I get this output:
Buildfile: /Users/archie/Downloads/ant-bug/build.xml
test:
[echo] creating somedir...
[mkdir] Created dir: /Users/archie/Downloads/ant-bug/somedir
[echo] showing somedir (it should be there)...
[exec] drwxr-xr-x 2 archie staff 64 Nov 22 15:50 somedir
[echo] deleting somedir...
[echo] showing somedir (it should NOT be there)...
[exec] drwxr-xr-x 2 archie staff 64 Nov 22 15:50 somedir
