[Nant-users] deleting directory nasty problem

[Dean Hiller]

Okay, so the following will fail if the directory does not exist                         <delete dir="${output}">   the following will pass if the directory does exist                         <delete dir="${output}" failonerror="false"/>   what if I want it to be just like java’s ant where I am doing a clean target and I want it to pass if The directory already does not exist….ie. clean was successful because it was already clean I want it to fail if it tries to delete ${output} and cannot because a file is locked in that directory.   How do I get this behavior?  This was the default behavior in java ant which kicked butt.
