Detailed Description

Execute fs operations { exists, copy, delete } for { files and directories }.

It will scope all operations on relative paths to the initialWorkingDirectory passed in SC::FileSystem::init. All methods can always return failure due to access or disk I/O errors, and they will be omitted in the return clauses for each method. Only the specific returned result behaviour of the given method will be described.

FileSystem fs;
// Make all operations relative to applicationRootDirectory
SC_TEST_EXPECT(fs.init(report.applicationRootDirectory));
 
// Create a nested directory structure with some files too
SC_TEST_EXPECT(fs.makeDirectoryRecursive("copyDirectory/subdirectory"));

SC_TEST_EXPECT(fs.existsAndIsFile("copyDirectory/testFile.txt"));
