Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fsouza/fake-gcs-server/issues/2124

Follow the general instructions to start fake-gcs-server with some default data:

https://github.com/fsouza/fake-gcs-server?tab=readme-ov-file#preload-data

Check: http://0.0.0.0:4443/storage/v1/b

This will only list the sample-bucket

Run:

curl \
  -X POST --insecure \
  "http://0.0.0.0:4443/storage/v1/b/sample-bucket/o/some_file.txt/copyTo/b/does-not-exist/o/foo"

Check: http://0.0.0.0:4443/storage/v1/b

This will list the sample-bucket and also does-not-exist

I would expect this copy operation to be rejected as the bucket doesn't exist at first.
