Creating a directory with File.makedirs

Peter Marks

10/2/2007 5:12:00 AM

I am trying to create a directory in Rails with the following code:

File.makedirs '/folder/subfolder/'

However, I get the error "undefined method `makedirs' for File:Class".
Has makedirs been deprecated to something else?

Thanks,

peter

makedir is a method defined in ftools (see
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes...). Therefore - add
require 'ftools'
if you want to use this method.

Or even better use the corresponding method being defined in "FileUtils"
module.

FileUtils is the preferred way now. ftools.rb says:

FileUtils.mkdir_p makes directories recursively.
