Subject: [ruby-core:74844] [Ruby trunk Feature#7361] Adding Pathname#touch

Issue #7361 has been updated by Dominic Sisneros.


Any update on this

Class Pathname

  def touch(options={})
    FileUtils.touch(@path, options)
  end

end


Pathname('test.pdf).touch(mtime: 1.hour.ago)

"#mkpath" almost works but doesn't have the mtime option


----------------------------------------
Feature #7361: Adding Pathname#touch
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7361#change-57974

* Author: Alexander E. Fischer
* Status: Assigned
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Akira Tanaka
----------------------------------------
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.
