How to make a copy file succeed even if files are not present in TFS?

Need your help on TFS build for one of my apps I have a copy file task in my build which copies the file from SourceFolder$(Build.SourceDirectory)/DataBase/Scripts to targetFolder $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/DataBase/Scripts.

This works fine if scripts are present in the Source location but fails when there are no files. I need my build to succeed in any case, even if files are not present.

You could use continueOnError on that particular build step and set it to true, so it doesn't cause the job to be reported as failed, if it fails.

If no files in Source Folder Scripts, the task will still report success. If the Source Folder Scripts doesn't exist, the task will report fail as build agent can not find the folder. This is an expected behavior, if the source folder doesn't exist and it reports success, you'll get incorrect result if you type wrong folder name.
