Copy_resources plugin not copying files/folders located outside of "dir_source_main_python" value

[farooqind]

@arcivanov My resources folder is not inside src/main/python but in src/main.
Plugin is not recognizing the path. It says it is copying but nothing gets copied in distribution.

Copying resources matching 'src/main/resources/**' from C:\work\xxx\xxxxx to c:\work\xxx\xxxx\target\dist\xxxxxxx-1.0

this is code in build.py:
@init
def initialize(project):
project.get_property("copy_resources_glob").append("src/main/resources/**")
project.set_property("copy_resources_target", "$dir_dist")

When I move the resources folder inside "src/main/python", it is copied properly to distribution.
@init
def initialize(project):
project.get_property("copy_resources_glob").append("src/main/python/resources/**")
project.set_property("copy_resources_target", "$dir_dist/resources")

I actually can't reproduce this at all...

@arcivanov I tried again..here are details..it still doesn't work. Distribution is not having resources folder.

[farooqind]

@arcivanov However this works fine. ie providing the file directly at root, it copies that file.

Confirmed on Windows: https://travis-ci.org/github/pybuilder/pybuilder/jobs/680308181

[farooqind]

For me it doesn't work on Linux as well.
I am using Jenkins for the build. First I am creating virtual environment and then running the build on Linux server. As usual it says it is copying but nothing appears in the tar file..

@farooqind "Not copying" and "Not appearing in tar file" are DIFFERENT things. I have specifically asked you here where the files did not appear.

On Linux copying works verifiably. On Windows it appears not to, I'm currently investigating why.

[farooqind]

@arcivanov Ultimate aim is to get resources folder as part of tar file. As per my understanding & observation, whatever appears in distribution folder, is also appearing in tar file for distribution. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

So I checked on Jenkins Linux server, it is copying the files. However, it is not putting those folders/files into final .tar.gz file. Apologies for the confusion.
So there are 2 points:

1. recursive copying not working on windows
2. copied files not being put into .tar.gz file
