Methods

MethodDescription
eachFile(closure)

Adds an action to be applied to each file as it about to be copied into its destination. The given closure is called with a FileCopyDetails as its parameter. Actions are executed in the order added, and are inherited from the parent spec.

eachFile(action)

Adds an action to be applied to each file as it is about to be copied into its destination. The action can change the destination path of the file, filter the contents of the file, or exclude the file from the result entirely. Actions are executed in the order added, and are inherited from the parent spec.

exclude(excludeSpec)

Adds an exclude spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs.The given closure is passed a FileTreeElement as its parameter. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.

exclude(excludes)

Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.

exclude(excludes)

Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.

exclude(excludeSpec)

Adds an exclude spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.

expand(properties)

Expands property references in each file as it is copied. More specifically, each file is transformed using Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine. This means you can use simple property references, such as $property or ${property} in the file. You can also include arbitrary Groovy code in the file, such as ${version ?: 'unknown'} or ${classpath*.name.join(' ')}

filter(closure)

Adds a content filter based on the provided closure. The Closure will be called with each line (stripped of line endings) and should return a String to replace the line.

filter(filterType)

Adds a content filter to be used during the copy. Multiple calls to filter, add additional filters to the filter chain. Each filter should implement java.io.FilterReader. Include org.apache.tools.ant.filters.* for access to all the standard Ant filters.

rename(closure)

Renames a source file to a different relative location under the target directory. The closure will be called with a single parameter, the name of the file. The closure should return a String object with a new target name. The closure may return null, in which case the original name will be used.

rename(sourceRegEx, replaceWith)

Renames files based on a regular expression. Uses java.util.regex type of regular expressions. Note that the replace string should use the '$1' syntax to refer to capture groups in the source regular expression. Files that do not match the source regular expression will be copied with the original name.
