stat-again

Helper for running tests interacting with the file system: It should happen, but when? So stat again!

Simple usage

When a file or a directory should be there but is not, or shouldn't be there but still is, promises are to be made and resolved. Node module ``stat-again` factors out some of the cumbersome logic.

`js
import {expectEventuallyFound} from 'stat-again';

const pathname = 'dir/file.js';
const delayInMs = 30;
const numberOfTries = 10;

expectEventuallyFound(pathname, delayInMs, numberOfTries)
.then(() => {
// File was found within a reasonable time
}, err => {
// Handle error
});
`

$3

`js
import {expectEventuallyDeleted} from 'stat-again';

const pathname = 'dir/file.js';
const delayInMs = 30;
const numberOfTries = 10;

expectEventuallyDeleted(pathname, delayInMs, numberOfTries)
.then(() => {
// File was deleted within a reasonable time
}, err => {
// Handle error
});
`

Stats are as returned by fs.stat(path, callback).

`js
import statAgain from 'stat-again';

const pathname = 'dir/file.js';
const delayInMs = 30;
const numberOfTries = 10;

statAgain(pathname, delayInMs, numberOfTries)
.then(stats => {
// Do something with stats
}, err => {
// Handle error
});
`

$3

`js
import {isNewerThan} from 'stat-again';

const pathname1 = 'dir/file1.js';
const pathname2 = 'dir/file2.js';

isNewerThan(pathname1, pathname2)
.then(bool => {
if (bool) {
// file1 is newer than file2...
} else {
// ...
}
}, err => {
// Handle error
});
