EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory

[stevenvachon]

cpy('/project/lib/**/*', '/project/dupe')

Dir structure:

└── project/
    ├── lib/
    │   ├── include/
    │   │   ├── file1.js
    │   │   └── file2.js
    │   └── file.js
    └── package.json

Results in:

Cannot copy from `/project/lib/include` to `/project/temp/include`: cannot read from `/project/lib/include`: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read

If I remove the lib/include dir, it works fine, but the structure of temp/ has been flattened.

This appears to be related to cpy/issues/10.

Currently cpy does not support recusively copying. You probably want to use parents: true and nodir: true.

Related issue: sindresorhus/cpy-cli#10 (comment)
=> usage of glob **/*.* vs. **/*, typically matches folder names (no filename extension)

This is a must, it should work by default unless you have the nodir option.

Unfortunately I ran into this issue too. However I was trying to copy one directory to another with the absolute path, no wildcards/glob... Was expecting this could handle that - unless I have something wrong... Was hoping to use this since it also supports progress reporting.
