Trying to identify directories

[leam hall]

Trying to figure out why this doesn't put just the directory names.
There are directories in options[:source] and if I start an irb
session in that directory, pick a directory name like "docs", and do:
File.directory?('docs')
it returns true.

Besides a brain, a clue. and a life, what am I missing?

Thanks!

Dir.entries(options[:source]).each {|node|
if File.directory?(node)
puts " node is: #{node}."
end
}

# output, even though there are directories present:
node is: ..
node is: ...

# If I remove the "File.directory?() it puts all the files and directories.

You are missing the full path to the directory or Dir.chdir to the
directory you call the script from

And this was it. I need to spend some time figuring out how to handle
this with recursion, but it's the root cause.

Thanks!

Updated, and full code. Still working on the final product, but this is
a big step forward. I'm learning to use Ruby on files and file-systems.
This task is to find all the '.git' directories so I can grab the
repository URLs and clone them into a new directory.

Hi,

This
task is to find all the '.git' directories so I can grab the repository

URLs

and clone them into a new directory.

You can search all .git files in a directory and subdirectories like

irb

dir = '.'

=> "."

git_dirs = Dir["#{dir}/**/.git"]

=> ["./database/projectdb/.git", ...

Regards,
Toshihiko Ichida

Your problem almost certainly isn't with the code you show, which works
fine, but rather, with what's in options[:source] .
I'm betting there's something in there (perhaps even something dumb,
like a <CR>) that's not what you think it should be.
Or, possibly, it's an unfully qualified directory. But the code
directly below is spot-on; no changes required. Instead, add a line as I
did, and see what's going on.

puts "And here is what we think our PWD is: #{Dir.pwd} and our source
directory: #{options[:source]}."
Dir.entries(options[:source]).each {|node|
if File.directory?(node)
puts " node is: #{node}."
end
}

Thanks, I'll give that a look The <CR> is likely the culprit.

In this case the command set options[:source] to the directory the
code was in, but used the explicit path "/home/me/lang/ruby".
