Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-11665: -------------------------------------- I think this behavior is in keeping with the {{javac}} ant task: https://github.com/apache/ant/blob/1a9de1ec23b1844d89b78bf9be6a202e8fbb5575/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Javac.java#L1312 > groovyc Ant task is not creating the destdir > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-11665 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11665 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 4.0.26 > Reporter: Björn Kautler > Priority: Major > > When using the {{groovyc}} Ant task, the {{destdir}} is not automatically > created, but you have to first do a {{mkdir}} task to create the directory > manually. > Would probably make sense to automatically create this instead of failing > with {{destination directory "..." does not exist or is not a directory}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
