[GRADLE-2898] Copy task fails, erroneously claiming it is UP-TO-DATE with Gradle 1.8 Created: 25/Sep/13  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

In code that works with Gradle 1.7 and I think 1.8-rc-1 (maybe also rc-2) I have a copy task configured like so:

task setupBaseSDK(type: Copy, dependsOn: [configurations.baseZip]) {
into stagingDir
from { configurations.baseZip.findAll

{ it.name.endsWith(".zip") }.collect { zipTree(it) } }
from { configurations.repoClientZip.findAll { it.name.endsWith(".zip") }

.collect

{ zipTree(it) }

}

{ into 'RepositoryClient' }

}

With Gradle 1.8 it claims to be UP-TO-DATE even though the destination directory is missing all of the files from the zips.

Did you do a clean build after bumping the Gradle version? I'd be surprised if anything changed here. Also `dependsOn repoClientZip` appears to be missing.

Yes I did do a clean build. But maybe I need to manually delete things like the .gradle folder?

Comment by Gradle Forums [ 25/Sep/13 ]

Normally it shouldn't be necessary to delete other stuff. Are you saying that a clean build now results in an "empty" copy? Maybe something's wrong with the configurations or their contents then?

I've added the dependency and deleted my ~/.gradle folder , then I did a clean build... same problem. Works fine with 1.7.

Fixed it.. needed to delete the .gradle folder from the parent project directory.

FWIW, I'm still seeing this with Gradle 1.11. I worked around it by adding

    outputs.upToDateWhen { false }

to my copy task.
