ScalaIO: Using RamFileSystem / ramfs

[Randall R Schulz]

Hi,

I'd like to explore the RamFileSystem as a kind of mocking tool in unit testing some code that is primarily about file system interactions.

I can find virtually nothing on-line (including in this forum) about this part of ScalaIO.

So my first question is: Is this part of ScalaIO in a usable state?
Secondly: If so, is there some material on how to use it that I'm failing to find?

Hi,

It is useable and is part of my testing framework.  However the API to create a RamFS will change for the next version.  Other than that it will remain mainly the same.

The API you should use (other than creation) should be the high level API so that will stay stable.

val fs = new RamFileSystem(separator="/")
val path = fs("path/to/dir", '/')

I wouldn't say it is rock solid and to be used in production for it is useful for testing and mocking up a file system.

Thanks, Jesse.

I guess I was expecting it to be more complicated or elaborate than it is...
