fs 1.6.2
CRAN release: 2023-04-25
-
path_ext_set()
can now handle extensions that contain a.
, e.g.csv.gz
(@mgirlich, #415).
fs 1.6.0
CRAN release: 2023-01-23
inputs to
path_real()
andpath_join()
are coerced to character for consistency with other functions (@raymondben, #370)fs uses libuv 1.44.2 now.
fs 1.5.2
CRAN release: 2021-12-08
file_create()
anddir_create()
now return the correct path when...
arguments are used (@davidchall, #333).dir_create(recurse = FALSE)
now correctly handles...
arguments (@davidchall, #333).file_exists()
now expands~
again (#325).dir_copy()
works whenpath
has length >1 (#360).
fs 1.5.1
CRAN release: 2021-11-30
Gábor Csárdi is now the maintainer.
fs is now licensed as MIT (#301).
dir_create()
now restores the previous umask (#293)file_exists()
is now much faster (#295)options(fs.fs_path.shorten)
can now be used to control how paths are shortened in tibbles. The default value is “front”, valid alternatives are “back”, “middle” and “abbreviate”. (#335)options(fs.use_tibble = FALSE)
can now be used to disable use of tibbles (#295).path_tidy()
now works with non-UTF8 encoded paths (@shrektan, #321).
fs 1.5.0
CRAN release: 2020-07-31
The libuv release used by fs was updated to 1.38.1
dir_create()
now consults the process umask so the mode during directory creation works likemkdir
does (#284).fs_path
,fs_bytes
andfs_perms
objects are now compatible with vctrs 0.3.0 (#266)fs_path
objects now sort properly when there is a mix of ASCII and unicode elements (#279)
fs 1.4.2
CRAN release: 2020-06-30
file_info(..., follow = TRUE)
,is_dir()
, andis_file()
follow relative symlinks in non-current directories (@heavywatal, #280)dir_map()
now grows its internal list safely, the 1.4.0 release introduced an unsafe regression (#268)file_info()
returns a tibble if the tibble package is installed, and subsets work when it is adata.frame
(#265)path_real()
always fails if the file does not exist. Thus it can no longer be used to resolve symlinks further up the path hierarchy for files that do not yet exist. This reverts the feature introduced in 1.2.7 (#144, #221, #231)
fs 1.4.0
CRAN release: 2020-03-31
[[.fs_path
,[[.fs_bytes
and[[.fs_perms
now preserve their classes after subsetting (#254).path_has_parent()
now recycles both thepath
andparent
arguments (#253).path_ext_set()
now recycles both thepath
andext
arguments (#250).Internally fs no longer depends on Rcpp
fs 1.3.2
CRAN release: 2020-03-05
fs now passes along
CPPFLAGS
during compilation of libuv, fixing an issue that could prevent compilation from source on macOS Catalina. (@kevinushey, #229)fs now compiles on alpine linux (#210)
dir_create()
now works with absolute paths andrecurse = FALSE
(#204).dir_tree()
now works with paths that need tilde expansion (@dmurdoch, @jennybc, #203).file_info()
now returns file sizes with the proper classes (“fs_bytes” and “numeric”), rather than just “fs_bytes” (#239)get_dirent_type()
gains afail
argument (@bellma-lilly, #219)is_dir()
,is_file()
,is_file_empty()
andfile_info()
gain afollow
argument, to follow links and return information about the linked file rather than the link itself (#198)path()
now follows “tidy” recycling rules, namely only consistent or length 1 inputs are recycled. (#238)path()
now errors if the path given or constructed will exceedPATH_MAX
(#233).path_ext_set()
now works with multiple paths (@maurolepore, #208).
fs 1.3.1

Fix undefined behavior when casting -1 to
size_t
.

(as was supported previously) or a number of levels to recurse. The previous argumentrecursive
has been deprecated.

Minor improvements and fixes
path_ext_set()
andfile_temp()
now treat extensions with a leading.
and those without equally. e.g.path_ext_set("foo", ext = "bar")
andpath_ext_set("foo", ext = ".bar")
both result in “foo.bar”Tidy paths are now always returned with uppercase drive letters on Windows (#174).

is malformed (#135).
fs 1.2.6

file_move()
now fall back to copying, then removing files when moving files between devices (which would otherwise fail) (#131, https://github.com/r-lib/usethis/issues/438).Fix for a double free when using

Experimental support for
/
and+
methods forfs_path
objects (#110).file_create()
anddir_create()
now take...
, which is passed topath()
to make construction a little nicer (#80).
Bugfixes
path_ext()
,path_ext_set()
andpath_ext_remove()
now handle paths with directories including hidden files without extensions (#92).file_copy()
now copies files into the directory if the target is a directory (#102).
fs 1.2.2
CRAN release: 2018-03-21
Features
- fs no longer needs a C++11 compiler, it now works with compilers which support only C++03 (#90).
Bugfixes
fs_path
fs_bytes
andfs_perm
objects now usemethods::setOldClass()
so that S4 dispatch to their base classes works as intended (#91).Fix allocation bug in
path_exists()
usingdelete []
when we should have usedfree()
.
fs 1.2.1
CRAN release: 2018-03-20
Features
-
path_abs()
gains astart
argument, to specify where the absolute path should be calculated from (#87).
Bugfixes
path_ext()
now returnscharacter()
if given 0 length inputs (#89)Fix for a memory issue reported by ASAN and valgrind.
fs 1.2.0
CRAN release: 2018-03-13
Breaking changes
path_expand()
andpath_home()
now useUSERPROFILE
orHOMEDRIVE
/HOMEPATH
as the user home directory on Windows. This differs from the definition used inpath.expand()
but is consistent with definitions from other programming environments such as python and rust. This is also more compatible with external tools such as git and ssh, both of which put user-level files inUSERPROFILE
by default. To mimic R’s (and previous) behavior there are functionspath_expand_r()
andpath_home_r()
.Handling missing values are more consistent. In general
is_*
functions always returnFALSE
for missing values,path_*
functions always propagate NA values (NA inputs become NA outputs) anddir_*
file_*
andlink_*
functions error with NA inputs.fs functions now preserve tildes in their outputs. Previously paths were always returned with tildes expanded. Users can use
path_expand()
to expand tildes if desired.
Bugfixes
- Fix crash when a files user or group id did not exist in the respective database (#84, #58)
- Fix home expansion on systems without readline (#60).
- Fix propagation of NA values in
path_norm()
(#63).
Features
-
file_chmod()
is now vectorized over both of its arguments (#71). -
link_create()
now fails silently if an identical link already exists (#77). -
path_package()
function created as an analog tosystem.file()
which always fails if the package or file does not exist (#75)
fs 1.1.0
CRAN release: 2018-01-26
Bugfixes
dir_delete()
now correctly expands paths (#47).dir_delete()
now correctly deletes hidden files and directories (#46).link_path()
now checks for an error before trying to make a string, avoiding a crash (#43).libuv return paths now marked as UTF-8 strings in C code, fixing encoding issues on windows. (#42)
dir_copy()
now copies the directory inside the target if the target is a directory (#51).dir_copy()
now works correctly with absolute paths and no longer removes files whenoverwrite = TRUE
.
