Look into integrating System.IO.Abstractions #6799

Open Therzok opened 5 years ago

It's a good helper for testing filesystem access and mocking faults like invalid permissions.

Also, could help with swappable filesystem backends (mmap, ram, sqlite db, doing IO only once then caching the values, etc) - i.e. perf testing different implementations

VS bug #798086

Looking at recent profiling traces, we should implement a smart FileSystem implementation to avoid IO in unnecessary cases.

In example, a custom IFileSystem could cache the result of File.Exists, and invalidate it on FileSystemWatcher changes.

Also considered Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders, but it's lacking on many fronts (performance wise)
