Copying files and directories in test setup

PBeland

I'm a complete dummy in Java. I have service for which I need to setup a file directory structure in the test setup.

I thought of using Groovy scripts to copy the files rather than creating batch files. It seems to be an easy task with Apache FileUtils but I can’t figure out how to use it in my Extension script.

I tried to add the org.apache.commons.io jar to the ClassPath and adding an import

import org.apache.commons.io;

but I get the error message:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:, Script13.groovy: 3: unable to resolve class org.apache.commons.io, @ line 3, column 1., import org.apache.commons.io;, ^, , 1 error,

Anyone can help or can suggest another way of doing?

Thanks

I really am a dummy! Only thing I was missing is the star in the import. No need to add ant Classpath...

Here's a working example:

import com.parasoft.api.*;
import org.apache.commons.io.*;

boolean copyFilesToWorkingDir(Object input, ExtensionToolContext context) {

    File source = new File("c:\\temp\\a\\a.txt");
    File dest = new File("c:\\temp\\b");
    FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory(source, dest, true);

    return true;    
}
