Functions and Task wrappers to copy / delete files and directories.

Delete

This module provides two functions to delete files and directories.

• deletePath: function to delete files / directories that can be used in your own tasks
• delete: function creating a wrapper Task for deletePath function

Here is an example of a task which will delete "modules" directory.

Task cleanTarget = delete {
    path = parsePath("modules");
};

A filter can be added to that task to only delete files with extensions "car" and "car.sha1"

Task cleanTarget = delete {
    path = parsePath("modules");
    filter = extensions("car", "car.sha1");
};

Copy

This module provides two functions to copy files and directories.

• copyFiles: function to copy files / directories that can be used in your own tasks
• copy: function creating a wrapper Task for copyFiles function

Here is an example of a task which will copy file "modules/mymodule/1.0.0/module-1.0.0.car" to "container/modules".

Task deploy = copy {
    source = parsePath("modules/mymodule/1.0.0/module-1.0.0.car");
    destination = parsePath("container/modules");
};

Note that copy acts the same way as the cp Unix command when a single file is given in input

• If the destination is a directory, it will copy the file under the destination directory. (modules/mymodule/1.0.0/module-1.0.0.car -> "container/modules/module-1.0.0.car in our example)
• If the destination is a file it will overwrite it or fail depending of overwrite configuration (modules/mymodule/1.0.0/module-1.0.0.car -> "container/modules" in our example)
• If the destination doesn't exist, it will use copy input file to destination (modules/mymodule/1.0.0/module-1.0.0.car -> "container/modules" in our example)

A directory can also be copied recursively as below

Task deploy = copy {
    source = parsePath("modules");
    destination = parsePath("container/modules");
    filter = extensions("car");
};
