Trying to delete folder using a filelist deployment.

Denise Bowker

I'm trying to delete a folder using a filelist deployment and it doesn't appear to be working.  Any clues?

 

<definition name="configs" >
	<source >
		<sourceFilesystem area="y:\default\main\sites\WORKAREA\development\website\" 
				  filelist="E:/OpenDeployNG/conf/website.filelist">
			<pathSpecification >
				<path name="." >
				</path>
			</pathSpecification>
		</sourceFilesystem>
	</source>
	<target useReplicationFarm="servers" >
		<comparisonRules  dateDifferent="yes"/>
    			<targetFilesystem area="/opt/web"/>
		<transferRules doDeletes="yes" />
	</target>
</definition>
	<deployment transactional="yes" >
	<execDeploymentTask useDefinition="configs"></execDeploymentTask>
</deployment> 

 

website.filelist

 

old-folder

 

 

"old-folder" does not exist in the source server at y:\default\main\sites\WORKAREA\development\website

"old-folder" does exist at /opt/web on the receiver.

 

The error logs do not have any errors.

 

LIB: (3) 2015-08-11 15:42:34 (.\old-folder) not found
LIB: 2015-08-11 15:42:34 Delete [.\old-folder] [reason file_list] -- OK

Within the same deployment I'm also deleting a flat text file, and it's deleted as expected.  It's just that the old-folder (and its content) is not being deleted.
