As in the title. Low hanging fruit since File.utime is now in stdlib.

src/file.cr Outdated
unless exists?(filename)
File.open(filename, "a") { }
end
time ||= Time.now

Why not put = Time.now as the default argument?

Since this way you might still pass a nil as an argument.

Why would someone pass nil?

I have no strong opinion about it, might as well change it to = Time.now.

# ```
# FileUtils.touch(["foo", "bar"])
# ```
def touch(paths : Enumerable(String), time : Time? = nil)

Maybe a *paths version?

Sounds good, though I'm just following convention from FileUtils here.

Ping? Anything actionable here?

@Sija I think the removal of the support for nil should be enough. Either you provide a Time reference or let the default Time.now be used.

So, should we redo some changes applied on #3986 since there is a built in touch?

@bcardiff its usage is part of a broader Process.exec method testing and thus using here File.touch would make the test miss its point.

@Sija yes, you are right.

File feels like the right place for this, thank you for fixing another ruby oddity :)
