Re: [Vala] deleting folders

[Victor Eduardo <victor elementaryos org>]

You obviously can't, but you can do the following:

string file_name = file_info.get_name ();
var file = directory.get_child (file_name);

And after that, you can call file.delete().

Victor.

Hello everyone! 

GLib.File provides a 'delete' method to delete files and empty folders. 

I need to delete a non empty folder so I thought of a recursive method 
like this: 

bool remove_directory (string path) { 
bool flag = false; 
var directory = File.new_for_path (path); 

var enumerator = directory.enumerate_children ( 
FileAttribute.STANDARD_NAME, 0 
); 

FileInfo file_info; 
while ((file_info = enumerator.next_file ()) != null) { 
if ((file_info.get_file_type ()) == FileType.DIRECTORY) { 
/* 
What should I do here? 
How can I get a File from a FileInfo so I can use the 
'delete' method on it? 
*/ 
} 
} 
return flag; 
}
