ZIP task fails when finding empty dir(s)

[anonymous]

The following fails:

<zip destfile="failure.zip">

<fileset dir="test" includes="/*"/>

</zip>

when the "test" dir is empty!

Phing says

"[zip] Nothing to do: C:\projects\myproject\failure.zip is up to date."

If you put any file into test dir, it works. Bad to create backups like this...

Your fileset looks recursively for files/directories *inside* test, excluding that dir itself.

Working example:

<fileset dir="." includes="test/**"/>
