Hello In Squeak and the dialect independent FileMan [1] there is FileDirectory assureExistence "Make sure the current directory exists.

Hi, There is #ensureCreateDirectory in Pharo but I don't know if it will check the parents exists. (And I don't have a Pharo image to check.

Yes, #ensureCreateDirectory is available. I'd like to make sure a directory 'public' is available as a sibling directory of the working directory (the directory where the Pharo image is in) However FileSystem disk workingDirectory / '../public' ensureCreateDirectory does not work as FileSystem disk workingDirectory / '../public' is an instance of ByteStream. Seemingly there is no conversion to a directory object. I wonder what is needed in addition? On 3/10/18, Cyril Ferlicot <cyril.ferlicot@gmail.com> wrote:

You can also do: FileSystem disk workingDirectory parent / 'public'. I feel it cleaner :) On Sun, Mar 11, 2018 at 10:27 AM, john pfersich <jpfersich@gmail.com> wrote:

Operator priority :); unary messages `#ensureCreateDirectory have precedence over binary `#/` (FileSystem disk workingDirectory / '../public') ensureCreateDirectory. Also please note that the workingDirectory should be based on where Pharow as launched from, if you are looking for the image directory, then use the following FileLocator imageDirectory asFileReference Cheers, Peter On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 9:35 PM, H.

I note that 'workingDirectory' is the directory where Pharo is launched from. In my case it happens to be the same where the image is in but that cannot be assumed generally. So (FileSystem workingDirectory / '..' / 'public') ensureCreateDirectory Worked fine. Thanks to all! --Hannes On 3/10/18, Peter Uhnák <i.uhnak@gmail.com> wrote:

The fact that "workingDirectory" point to the folder from where Pharo was launched is only valid since Pharo 7. Before there was no distinction between workingDirectory and imageDirectory which caused problems when you wanted to script.
So
(FileSystem workingDirectory / '..' / 'public') ensureCreateDirectory
Worked fine.
Thanks to all!
