The file doesn't exist, even though it does

[anogr]

If I try to copy a folder using cpy-cli, I get an error message saying the file doesn't exist. The "file" is a folder, and it does exist.

The error is in index.js, line 81. I don't know the intent of the check !sourcePaths.every(value => files.includes(value)) but that's the reason it fails.

That check was added September 22.

I've faced the same issue when I've tried to copy directory that exists in v8.0.0.

(node:35974) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: NestedError: Cannot copy `node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts`: the file doesn't exist
    at promise (/<my-project-path>/node_modules/cpy/index.js:76:10)

Downgrading to v7.3.0 fix the issue.

The issue introduced here is that we cannot differentiate between folders & files without reading the fs. (afaik)

The !sourcePaths.every(value => files.includes(value)) check would verify the returned files from globby with the provided source (excluding globs). However, directories are listed in the source, but not in the files output and the check would fail.

I think we should revert to only throwing an error when files.length === 0 && !hasGlob(source).

ref https://github.com/sindresorhus/cpy/pull/74 – that check had some other problems, too

@whitecrownclown Yeah, lets do that.
