Recursive Copy from empty directory fails

FinalBuilder Bugs

I create a File Copy Action, set it to Recursive and Fail If Zero Files Affected, and I point the source to a directory that doesn’t have any immediate files, but contains sub-folders which contain files.

The Copy Files Action fails and says it could’t find any files to copy.

I can’t use XCOPY because my destination path is too long. So I guess I’ll try RoboCopy next, but I also notice that neither XCOPY Nor RoboCopy have an option to fail if zero files copied.

Hi Mike,

I was unable to reproduce the problems you are seeing with the ‘Copy Files’ action, have you included the file mask in the source? (for example C:\Folder*.*)

Regards,
Paul.

OK, I’ll see if I can reproduce the issue on a fresh project.
FYI I’m using FB 4.2.0.305 Pro
