Hello, Is there a way to make gradle skip copy task, if the files already exists and their contents hasn’t been changed? Thank you!!

Well I almost found the answer. I think it’s possible by using sync task:

task mycopy<<
{
 sync{
    from ("$projectDir/conf/templates"){ include ("web-log4j.properties") }
    filter{line ->line.replaceAll("@@@LEVEL@@@","$log4jlevel")}
    filter{line ->line.replaceAll("/home/publication-log/","/home/publication-log/instances/$customer/logs/")}
    into ("$buildDir/home/publication-log/instances/$customer/configuration")
    rename("web-log4j.properties","lo4g.properties")
  }
    sync{
    from("$projectDir/sql"){include('**/*')}
    from("$projectDir/customer_specific_data"){include('*.sql')}
    into("$buildDir/home/publication-log/instances/$customer/configuration/sql")
  }
  }

Now all I need is to apply exclude files lists in case it’s already exists. Any suggestions please? Thank you

There is no ‘sync’ method. What you want is ‘task mysync(type: Sync) { … }’.
