node.js mkdir enonent when passed a string

Question

I'm trying to build folders with a string, but I keep erroring out, everything looks good, but I'm obviously missing something, any help would be great.

var setFile = 'dijit/analysis/images/' folders = setFile.substr(0,setFile.lastIndexOf('/')); fs.mkdir(folders, function(err){ console.log('problem: ' + err); });

Error: Error: ENOENT, mkdir 'dijit/analysis/images'

Thanks,

Do the dijit and dijit/analysis directories already exist? Are you perhaps looking for npmjs.org/package/mkdirp? — loganfsmyth

fs.mkdir can able to built only a single folder. You are trying to create a folder inside a non existing folder. This problem can be solved by fs-extra module of npm. Following code should fulfill your need.

var setFile = 'dijit/analysis/images/', fsExtra = require('fs-extra'), folders = setFile.substr(0, setFile.lastIndexOf('/')); fsExtra.mkdirp(folders, function(err) { console.log('problem: ' + err); });

Kundu's comment answers this problem, but if you want a different solution there is plenty over at How to create full path with node's fs.mkdirSync?
