This is a small bugfix only release.
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 warn = TRUE
(#132)
New path_wd()
generates paths from the current working directory (#122).
New path_has_parent()
determines if a path has a given parent (#116).
New file_touch()
used to change access and modification times for a file (#98).
dir_ls()
, dir_map()
, dir_walk()
, dir_info()
and file_info()
gain a fail
parameter, to signal warnings rather than errors if they are called on a path which is unavailable due to permissions or locked resources (#105).
path_tidy()
now always includes a trailing slash for the windows root directory, e.g. C:/
(#124).
path_ext()
, path_ext_set()
and path_ext_remove()
now handle paths with non-ASCII characters (#120).
fs_path
objects now print (without colors) even if the user does not have permission to stat them (#121).
compatibility with upcoming gcc 8 based Windows toolchain (#119)
Experimental support for /
and +
methods for fs_path
objects (#110).
file_create()
and dir_create()
now take ...
, which is passed to path()
to make construction a little nicer (#80).
path_ext()
, path_ext_set()
and path_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_path
fs_bytes
and fs_perm
objects now use methods::setOldClass()
so that S4 dispatch to their base classes works as intended (#91).
Fix allocation bug in path_exists()
using delete []
when we should have used free()
.
path_abs()
gains a start
argument, to specify where the absolute path should be calculated from (#87).path_ext()
now returns character()
if given 0 length inputs (#89)
Fix for a memory issue reported by ASAN and valgrind.
path_expand()
and path_home()
now use USERPROFILE
or HOMEDRIVE
/HOMEPATH
as the user home directory on Windows. This differs from the definition used in path.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 in USERPROFILE
by default. To mimic R’s (and previous) behavior there are functions path_expand_r()
and path_home_r()
.
Handling missing values are more consistent. In general is_*
functions always return FALSE
for missing values, path_*
functions always propagate NA values (NA inputs become NA outputs) and dir_*
file_*
and link_*
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.
path_norm()
(#63).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 to system.file()
which always fails if the package or file does not exist (#75)Tidy paths no longer expand ~
.
Filesystem modification functions now error for NA inputs. (#48)
path()
now returns 0 length output if given any 0 length inputs (#54).
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 when overwrite = TRUE
.
