Trouble with MSBuild Copy

Question

Hi I have the following target.

<Target
  Name="TestCopy"
  AfterTargets="BeforeBuild"
    >

<Message
    Text="Copying base Sitecore config files @(GenerateDuringBuild) 

        %(GenerateDuringBuild.RootDir)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Directory)UpdatedConfiguration\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Extension)


        %(GenerateDuringBuild.RootDir)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Directory)UpdatedConfiguration\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Extension).test
      "

        />

 <Copy
    SourceFiles="%(GenerateDuringBuild.RootDir)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Directory)UpdatedConfiguration\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Extension)"
    DestinationFiles="%(GenerateDuringBuild.RootDir)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Directory)UpdatedConfiguration\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)\%(GenerateDuringBuild.Filename)%(GenerateDuringBuild.Extension).test"
    Condition="!Exists('%(GenerateDuringBuild.FullPath)')"
    />


</Target>

The Message outputs the correct paths but does not do the copy.

The file does not exist.

Wrong variable name. GenerateDuringBuild is for another task. Lesson Learned. Do not copy and paste.
