Sencha Cmd won't copy symbolic links when building

Touch and Cmd version tested:

• Touch 2.3.1


• Sencha Cmd 4.0.2.67

Description:

• When I run sencha app build package files and directories pointed to by symbolic links won't get copied even though they are specified in app.json. In earlier versions of Sencha Cmd (before 4.0) this worked as expected.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Generate a new app with sencha generate app MyApp ../MyApp.


• Create a symbolic link to a file in the resources directory: ln -s /some/other/directory/example.json.


• Make sure you specify the file in app.json: "resources": ["resources/example.json"].


• Build the application with sencha app build package.

The result that was expected:

• The file that the symlinc points to should be copied to build/package/MyApp/Resources.

The result that occurs instead:

• The file is not copied.


• If the symbolic link is replaced with a file with the same name that file will be copied.
