[nant-dev] NAnt bug in <copy> task

[Nick V. <nva...@us...>]

0.84 RC1, Win2K Pro, .Net Framework 1.1

Why does the first build fragment throw an error, but the second is OK?



{{{Build Fragment That Throws An Error}}}
<echo message=3D"build.output.directory :=3D ${build.output.directory}" =
/>
<echo message=3D"build.playpen :=3D ${build.playpen}" />
<copy todir=3D"${build.output.directory}">
	<fileset>
		<includes name=3D"${build.playpen}\bin\*" />
	</fileset>
</copy>

{{{Corrected Build Fragment}}}
<echo message=3D"build.output.directory :=3D ${build.output.directory}" =
/>
<echo message=3D"build.playpen :=3D ${build.playpen}" />
<copy todir=3D"${build.output.directory}">
	<fileset basedir=3D"${build.playpen}\bin">
		<includes name=3D"*" />
	</fileset>
</copy>
