From: lucasbuchala@... Date: 2016-02-17T13:58:47+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:73863] [Ruby trunk Feature#10121] Dir.empty? Issue #10121 has been updated by Lucas Buchala. Now that Ruby got a Dir.empty? method, do you think it makes sense to add a File.empty? as an alias for File.zero? ? Then, one would be able say things like this, in a single step: ~~~ files_and_dirs.reject(&:empty?) ~~~ (I didn't know if it was worth opening a new issue for this simple suggestion, so I just appended it here, since I see Dir.empty? and File.empty? as related methods, somehow) ---------------------------------------- Feature #10121: Dir.empty? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10121#change-57033 * Author: Robert A. Heiler * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- On IRC someone asked how to find out if a directory is empty or not, from within ruby. It seems as if there was no simple way. I suggest adding `Dir.empty?` On IRC, someone else suggested this: ~~~ruby Dir.entries(dir).size == 2 ~~~ I do not know if there are better ways but possibly that could be used for a `Dir.empty?` functionality? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
