Unexpected cp behaviour with directories about shelljs HOT 4 CLOSED

sounds like a bug indeed, will look into this soon, thanks Brendan.

from shelljs.

I still have the problems with cp function. Consider directory structure like this:
root/

• dir1/
  • lib/
    • main.js

Work directory is root, and I try to copy dir1 to dir2

$ node

require('shelljs/global')
{}
cp('-R', 'dir1/*', 'dir2/')
shell.js: internal error
Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'dir2//lib'
at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:483:18)
at app/node_modules/shelljs/shell.js:306:14
at Array.forEach (native)
at _cp (app/node_modules/shelljs/shell.js:288:11)
at app/node_modules/shelljs/shell.js:1103:23
at repl:1:2

$ node

require('shelljs/global')
{}
cp('-Rf', 'dir1/*', 'dir2/')

@can3p sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. is it still happening?

from shelljs.

@can3p if it is, can you please open a separate issue as the error is different from the original one here? thanks!
