Create subdirectories in Ruby [closed]

Question

I want to create a sub-directory of a directory that does not exist like: /foo/bar

I tried:

Dir.mkdir("foo/bar")

but this does not work.

Answer 1

If you are trying to create a directory and its parent directories, you want to use FileUtils.mkdir_p instead.

Answer 2

Is this what you're looking for?

require 'fileutils'
FileUtils.mkpath('/foo/bar')

mkpath is an alias of mkdir_p.
