Prevent AzCopy.exe when destination folder exists already

Question

Is there an AzCopy parameter to ensure the destination folder is empty?

If not, how should I check to ensure the folder is empty in a VSTS build pipeline?

Answer 1

What's your destination for the transfer, is it Blob or Local file?

If it's blob, use following script can check if the folder if empty

$ctx=New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $key
$blob = Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container $containerName -Prefix dir1/dir2/ -Context $ctx -MaxCount 1

if ($blob -eq $null)
{
    # container/dir1/dir2/ Don't have blob, so do AzCopy transfer
}

If it's localfile, using following script:

$file = Get-ChildItem c:\dir1\dir2\
if ($file -eq $null)
{
    # c:\dir1\dir2\ Don't have file, so do AzCopy transfer
}
