Thanks for the tip; all these years and I never realized `FileUtils.mkdir_p` had this `mode:` argument. I can _imagine_ use cases for this generic solution: chown, chgrp, touch index.html And in general I think it's better design to have generic/basic building blocks that can be combined in flexible ways. But I have not personally experienced a need other than chmod, so for my case `FileUtils.mkdir_p` is enough. ---------------------------------------- Feature #16972: Pathname#mkpath to accept block to call on each created directory https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16972#change-86291 * Author: Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: akr (Akira Tanaka) ---------------------------------------- I just had a case where I need to set the permissions on each directory created by `Pathname#mkpath`, but since this requires to know which directories are created I had to reimplement the `mkpath` logic like this: ```ruby file = Pathname.new(Dir.pwd) + "a/b/c/d/e/foo.txt" #any of these directories may already exist file.dirname.ascend.take_while{ |d| !d.exist? }.reverse_each do |dir| dir.mkdir dir.chmod(0775) #rwxrwxr-x end ``` It occured to me it would be very elegant if `mkpath` allowed this ```ruby file.dirname.mkpath{ |dir| dir.chmod(0775) } ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
