Method: ASRake::FileUtilsExt#cp_u

Defined in:

lib/asrake/file_utils.rb

#cp_u(src, dest, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Copies files recursivly only if they don’t exist at the destination or the destination files are older.

There are two possible ways to copy, multiple files, or a single file

1. Copying multiple files Examples:

   • ‘cp_u FileList, “/dest”`

   • ‘cp_u %w/path/src2, “/dest”`

   • ‘cp_u /path/to/src/, “/dest”`

   An error will be thrown if the destination already exists and is not a directory.

2. Copying a single file For example, copying file “src”

   1. If destination is, or is infered to be, a directory, the src file is copied to an identically named file at the destination directory ‘cp_u /path/src, /path/dest/` `cp_u /path/src, /path/dest` <- dest is an existing directory

   2. If destination is, or is infered to be, a file, the src file is copied and renamed to the destination file ‘cp_u /path/src, /path/dest` <- dest does not exist or is a file

	else
		copy_files(src, dest, options)
	end
	#puts "Files copied. #{src} => #{dest}"
end
