[GRADLE-1950] Change in behavior when using copy specs Created: 21/Nov/11  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: 1.0-milestone-6
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Paul King Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 0


 Description   

Specs could be used with the 'from' keyword in milestone 5 but can only be used with the 'with' keyword in milestone 6. A fix could either re-instate the capability or document the change in the release notes/migration guide. See the forum for an example:
http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/a_possible_breaking_change_between_milestone_5_and_6

(I just noted that the migration guide has been changed - so I am fine if this issue is closed unless you believe the functionality is important to retain - I submitted anyway so that the change can be tracked)

As announced on the Gradle blog we are planning to completely migrate issues from JIRA to GitHub.

We intend to prioritize issues that are actionable and impactful while working more closely with the community. Many of our JIRA issues are inactionable or irrelevant. We would like to request your help to ensure we can appropriately prioritize JIRA issues you’ve contributed to.

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
  • Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!
