azure task: Copy Files@2 If no files are matched throw error

Question

i like to fail the task if no files are matched. from reading the documents

i can see its behavior is exactly the opposite.

here is my download and copy task, how when its 0 files to throw error and to fail the pipeline

steps:
    - task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
      inputs:
        buildType: 'current'
        downloadType: 'single'
        artifactName: 'Artifacts'
        itemPattern: | 
                **/*.a
                **/*s.plist*
        downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
    - task: CopyFiles@2
      inputs:
        SourceFolder: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
        Contents: | 
                **/*.a
                **/*s.plist*
        TargetFolder: '$(Agent.HomeDirectory)/../${{parameters.FolderCompile}}'

What you can do is only:

Write powershell/bash script to schek if there is eny file and if not then make exit 1 from the script what fails the task
Analyze logs of your CopyFiles task in a similar way how it is done here
