Allow end users to construct DirEntry #133

Closed MidasLamb closed 4 years ago

MidasLamb commented 4 years ago

Change pub(crate) to pub for the constructors, so end users can create DirEntries themselves.

I've got a project in which the filter_entry is a crucial part, it also depends on some input parameters. However, I can't write unit tests for the filter functionality, as I can't create DirEntries.

This PR allows the enduser to create DirEntries, in order to be able to construct unit tests for their filter function.

I'm sorry, but these are specifically implementation details. They have changed over time and I do not feel comfortable giving up the flexibility.

You'll have to find some other way to test your code. Often the simplest is to just set up a real directory tree, which is what the tests for walkdir do. If that can't work, then you'll probably need to introduce some indirection in the form of a trait.

Ok, thank's for the quick reply.

I will try to figure out another way of testing this.
