Rule: Exists

[tobiastimm]

It would be cool if this would have a check to ensure that a directory/file exists!

[loeffel-io]

How you would solve this in your config?

[tobiastimm]

Would be cool to have something like

ls:
    packages/src:
        .dir: 
           name: /REGEX_PATTERN/
           exists: true

Pretty similar to how goss handles that

user:
  sshd:
    exists: true
    uid: 74
    gid: 74
    groups:
    - sshd
    home: /var/empty/sshd
    shell: /sbin/nologin

Yeah, thats what i also thought about 👍

[piotrpalek]

just making sure, would this be the same thing as having "file structure validation", something like what: https://github.com/denisraslov/folderslint does?

edit: also would it be possible to mark a directory as "doesn't accept new files"? like I sometimes want to do migrations in projects and mark some path as "legacy", so that people don't add new files there, while I can't yet move all old files to some new place

I was just wondering if this feature is still on the table? This is exactly what I need to ensure some yarn files don't accidentally get removed.

[loeffel-io]

still on the table - prs are welcome!

For anyone interested. You can now use exists:1 as a rule. Please check the documentation

[loeffel-io]

@ccoVeille v2.3.0 is not released yet - there is one single piece that is missing

[ccoVeille]

Author opened the issue 4 years ago. I assumed he could wait a few more days/week.

But you are right, it's not yet available or documented

[loeffel-io]

As far i can tell this is one of the most challenging tasks for me - its beautiful how wildcard extensions, selected files and exists working together magically
