Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-11665:
--------------------------------------
I think this behavior is in keeping with the {{javac}} ant task:
https://github.com/apache/ant/blob/1a9de1ec23b1844d89b78bf9be6a202e8fbb5575/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Javac.java#L1312
> groovyc Ant task is not creating the destdir
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-11665
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11665
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0.26
> Reporter: Björn Kautler
> Priority: Major
>
> When using the {{groovyc}} Ant task, the {{destdir}} is not automatically
> created, but you have to first do a {{mkdir}} task to create the directory
> manually.
> Would probably make sense to automatically create this instead of failing
> with {{destination directory "..." does not exist or is not a directory}}.
