How to get size of a directory?

[ArtjomP]

Hello there!

Cake has FileSize(filePath) for a file but it doesn't work for a directory.

Does Cake have an option to get the size of a directory?

Thank you in advance!

Hey @ArtjomP, there's no equivalent alias for Directories, but you could easily use GetFiles to enumerate all the files in a directory and sum up the file sizes.

e.g.

var fileSizes = GetFiles("./**/*.*").Sum(FileSize);
Information("File sizes: {0}", fileSizes);

Thank you!
It works well.
Even with the pattern: "./**/*"
Have a great time!
