Review Summary
I am requesting changes to your submission. You've correctly implemented the core file copying functionality, which is great! However, there are two critical issues related to the program's control flow that need to be addressed.
- The application doesn't exit after an error. When an error is found, like a missing path, it's logged correctly, but the script continues to run, which leads to a crash. After logging a fatal error, the process should terminate. You can use
process.exit(1)to stop the script. - Incorrect behavior for identical paths. The requirements state that the app should 'do nothing' if the source and destination are the same. Your code currently logs an error. For this case, the application should simply exit silently without any output.
Fixing these issues will make your solution fully compliant with the requirements. You're very close!

Review Summary
Excellent work on this iteration! You've successfully addressed all the core requirements, and your application is fully functional. The tests are comprehensive and cover all the necessary cases, which is great to see. Your solution is approved.
I have one small suggestion for improvement. In src/app.js, when handling errors, you use process.exit(0). While this correctly terminates the program, the standard convention for command-line tools is to exit with a non-zero code (like 1) to indicate that an error occurred. This helps with scripting and automation. This is just a best-practice tip for the future and doesn't block this approval. Keep up the great work!
