[gradle-user] Copy task being skipped with UP-TO-DATE

[David Resnick]

I'm encountering a problem where a copy task intermittently doesn't copy and
instead skips with UP-TO-DATE. I am having a hard time looking into the
problem because it happens so rarely. It has happened on a number of
different machines, though only very rarely.

The task copies a directory and looks like this:

task copySrcDist(type: Copy) {
    from 'src/dist'
    into distDir
}

The problem has happened with both 0.9 and 0.9.1 on Linux.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks,
David
