File¶
Note
Each of these methods are forwarded to Dsl
, e.g. you can
use dsl.file_exists?(path)
instead File.exists?(dsl, path)

File
¶ Remote file utilities. The Unix notion of file is used here, where a directory is considered as a special kind of file.
This class is effectively a wrapper around the test utility.

-
classmethod File.
test
(dsl, test_flag, path)¶ Call the test utility on the remote server, passing test_flag (e.g. ‘-s’) and path as arguments.
Return the result of the evaluation. This may be somewhat confusing, as the test utility returns 0 if the expression evaluated to true. As an example,
test(dsl, '-e', '/some/path')
would return true if /some/path exists.The other methods all call this one with the appropriate flag value. This method is intended as a way to use the less common flags.
