Description

• The new built-in cp command to copy a file that may or may not exist, with the ignore_error: true property set on the cmd: scope
• Expected cp command errors to be suppressed
• cp errors were not suppressed and tasks fail
• No change if -f is used or not.
• Adding powershell before the cp command works as expected even if the powershell command fails.

This task is just a best-effort file copy for some testing, and some files may not exist for now, and simply suppressing the error is the simplest solution for now.

Example error

task: Failed to run task "dev-plugins-fetch": GetFileAttributesEx C:\tests\config\Essentials.Accounts.json: The system cannot find the file specified.
