Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to akr (Akira Tanaka) Target version set to next minor ---------------------------------------- Feature #7361: Adding Pathname#touch https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7361#change-33719 Author: aef (Alexander E. Fischer) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: akr (Akira Tanaka) Category: lib Target version: next minor Pathname has an #mkdir method to create a directory at the path, but does not have a #touch method to create an empty file at that path. There were numerous cases where I had to fallback to using new_file = Pathname.new('location/for/new/file') FileUtils.touch(new_file) instead of simply being able to use: new_file.touch I would like to add this method. If you like it, let me know. I will provide a patch then. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
