title: gradle simple file copy is not working
body: <p>I'm very new to Gradle and am running this code to copy files from one dir to another ..but it does not work..</p>
  
  <pre><code> task copyTask (type: Copy) {
      doLast{
          from 'source'
          into 'dest'
      }     
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The gradle build output</p>
  
  <pre><code>λ gradle copyTask
  :copyTask UP-TO-DATE
  
  BUILD SUCCESSFUL
  
  Total time: 1.244 secs
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure what is it that I'm doing wrong. The files under source dir is not copied to dest dir. Even if there is something wrong with my config why is the copyTask showing as up-to-date ?</p>
