From: shevegen@... Date: 2019-10-12T11:39:45+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:95308] [Ruby master Feature#16249] Dir#empty? and File#empty? Issue #16249 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). Personally I think I have wanted/needed this in the past. It has not been that important to me to suggest it myself, though, but +1 on the name/API. I guess it may have to do with what is/should be possible through FileUtils. We already do have a few file-related activities outside of FileUtils, though, such as File.delete(). I use the latter a lot, more often than tapping into FileUtils (if the task is to delete the file); oddly enough, one minor reason is that I can avoid having to do require 'fileutils', a bit similar as to how I like how require 'pp' became optional - but anyway, I digress, so +1 to the suggestion in itself. (I have no particular opinion on the implementation either way; my comment here is really meant to the Dir.empty?() and File.empty?() API/suggestion alone.) ---------------------------------------- Feature #16249: Dir#empty? and File#empty? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16249#change-81991 * Author: zverok (Victor Shepelev) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I don't think it is a super-valuable addition (as nobody complained about it, or I can't find similar proposals), but seems logical to me: ```ruby # Existed since 2.4 Dir.empty?('dirname') #=> true/false File.empty?('filename') # => true/false # Proposed and implemented: Dir.open('dirname').empty? File.open('filename').empty? ``` ---Files-------------------------------- file_dir_i_empty.patch (3.27 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
