Can this resource upload a directory tree?

[tomwhoiscontrary]

Well, can it? Or can it only upload a single file? The documentation doesn't touch on this.

Having read the code a bit, i think this depends on whether Go's glob function matches directories, and then on whether the AWS client handles directory trees, which it looks like it doesn't.

If this resource can't upload directories, can i suggest that (a) the documentation explicitly say so and (b) an attempt to upload a directory fails with an error saying so? I'm happy to submit a PR to do this.

Even better would be if it could upload directories, of course, but i suspect you won't want to do that.

Any chance of a comment on this ticket?

This would be a really useful feature

Just tried. It appears to hang indefinitely.

It cannot upload directories. It uploads and keeps track of a single file.

@vito The hanging thing is a bit disingenuous - might consider throwing an error or something?

@tomwhoiscontrary I was pointed at https://github.com/18F/s3-resource-simple, which can do directories I believe.

@jadekler Nice! If i ever use Concourse again, that will probably be very useful.
