Task to change permissions

[benoitchantre]

We can make some directories writable, but not the opposite (read only).

I think it would be great to be able to set the permissions of files and directories with the desired values.

Maybe a task that could take as parameter an array of files/dirs as keys and the desired permission as value.

set( 'chmod_files', [
    'public/.user.ini' => 600,
    'public/wp-config.php' => 400,
    'public/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess' => 444,
] );

What do you think?

Why not just use a task for it?

task('chmod_files', function () {
    cd('{{release_path}}');
    run('chmod 600 public/.user.ini');
    run('chmod 400 public/wp-config.php');
    run('chmod 444 public/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess');
});

Almost the same amount of lines.

🤔 I did something like this, now thinking its over-engineered.
It is probably better if the task fails when a file or directory doesn't exist.

desc('Set file permissions');
task('deploy:permissions', function () {
    $dirs = get('chmod_dirs', []);
    $files = get('chmod_files', []);

    foreach ($dirs as $dir => $value) {
        if (! test("[ -d $dir ]")) {
            return;
        }

        run("chmod -R $value $dir");
    }

    foreach ($files as $file => $value) {
        if (! test("[ -f $file ]")) {
            return;
        }

        run("chmod $value $file");
    }
});
