Windows does not allow one to delete a file if there is a process that has
an open handle to it
Thank you for the hint! I'll check whether the dir is locked by a process.
I do not know if the sync
task checks if file deletions actually succeed. It is common for Java
programs to not check the return value of a delete operation (File#delete())
to verify it actually worked.
I see that the sync task does not check the return code. Here's an
excerpt from the source
(https://github.com/apache/ant/blob/master/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Sync.java,
line 246):
log("Removing orphan directory: " + f, Project.MSG_DEBUG);
f.delete();
++removedCount[0];
I saw a macro (macrodef) on the internet which mimics the sync behaviour
by combining copy and delete tasks, I'll give it a try.
