From: James Byrne Date: 2008-03-31T08:18:07+09:00 Subject: FILEUTILS cp/cp_r rm/rm_r on Windows XP I cannot seem to get these commands to work as expected in Windows XP pro SP2. Given this task :update do FileUtils.cp_r File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'views/xyz/'), File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '../../../app/views') end I get this: unknown file type: C:/path/to/source/views/xyz/ Given this: task :remove do FileUtils.rm_rf File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '../../../app/views/xyz') rescue nil end I get no errors, but the directory is not removed either. Can someone point out my error? Regards, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
