Task with copy ZipTree doesn't work after upgrade to 1.8 for some JAR file

Old Forum Archive

We have task that doesn’t work after gradle upgrade from 1.7 to 1.8, Task is running on multiple JAR files, but only one file fails. Environment is Linux. Gradle task contains:

copy {
                from zipTree(temporaryDir.getAbsolutePath() + '/' + jarFile.getName())
                into jarFile.getAbsolutePath()
            }

This task caused exception:

:initDevelopment FAILED
  FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
  * Where:
Script '/home/testuser/projekty/trunk/project_build/gradle/websphere.gradle' line: 158
  * What went wrong:

> Neither path nor baseDir may be null or empty string. path='' basedir='/work/IBMWAS8.0_64/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/node02Cell/test.ear/module_ptmoEjb.jar'
  * Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Same task with same file works with gradle version 1.7, does not with 1.8.

I’d need to see the context of that ‘copy’ call. Is this happening within a task action?

3

This is happening in a task action.

We are using this task in complex gradle script, but I have extracted it in one simple task and it has same behavior. So I put here code and exception.

task initDevelopment << {
 copy {
  from zipTree('module_ptmoEjb.jar')
  into 'test'
 }
}

Exception:

testuser@test:~/gradletest/test$ gradle iD --stacktrace

The problem seems to be related to the contents of the Jar. Is there any chance you can post a reproducible example? Otherwise let’s wait and see if 1.9-rc-1 (or, say, next week’s nightlies) will solve the problem, as they are set to fix some known copy problems.

Sorry, but I cannot send JAR file. Just one thing,only this JAR file, which does not work, contains information and content added by ant task EjbDocletTask (xdoclet.modules.ejb.EjbDocletTask) for EJB version 2.1.

OK, I will try next week version.
