@jprichardson Just little side node here, please mention in docs that those methods are actually a wrapper around rimraf. I was just looking if I can use globbing pattern there and had to dive into code to find out about this. Thanks for the module either way, I like to have things tucked together like this.

Somehow, this does not seem to work any more (using Version 1.0.0):

fs.remove(storagePath, err => {
if(err)...;
console.log('REMOVED', storagePath)
});

output:

REMOVED /tmp/myproject/test/unit/*

$ ls -l /tmp/myproject/test/unit/|wc -l
10

This issue should be closed, it is fixed.

@siyb fs-extra does not support globbing. It did support it for remove and move, but this was inconsistent with the rest of the API, so we removed it in v1.0.0. https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#100--2016-11-01

@siyb what happened is that fs-extra never supported globbing nor was it ever documented. rimraf came along and introduced globbing which fs-extra depended upon. fs-extra will support globbing at some point, but we need it to be consistent across the entire API.

If this is something you'd be willing to help us with, we'd love to have your help.

fs-extra will support globbing at some point, ...

Is it available? Where can one track the status of this? Perhaps here?

[RyanZim]

Yes.
