from the doc: https://rdoc.info/github/erikhuda/thor/master/Thor%2FActions:directory
#directory(source, *args, &block)
... If any empty directory is found, it's copied and all .empty_directory files are ignored
Here is my structure:
I'm using this in a gem and here is the part where I copy the directory:
def add_webpack_native_folder
directory 'webpack_native', 'app/webpack_native'
end
The folder webpack_native has basically a src folder that contains the following folders: javascripts, stylesheets and images. The javascript and stylesheets get copied without issue (because they have a file on each of them) but the folder images don't get copied (even though it contains a .empty_directory as the doc suggested)
The full code source can be found in https://github.com/scratchoo/webpack_native
