files property exits with ENOTDIR when copying and renaming single files

See original GitHub issue

Version: 20.11.1 / 20.8.2

Target: mac (dmg), win (nsis) and linux (tar.gz, .deb)

According to the docs, in v12.1.0, file mappings were introduced:

You can use file macros in the from and to fields as well. from and to can be files and you can use this to rename a file while packaging.

However, using a files configuration like:

files:
  - from: app/build/bundle.js
    to: app/build.js

Results in: Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, scandir '/Users/foo/project/app/build/bundle.js' – I’ve double checked, the file at this location does exist.
