Chad Wilson commented on IO-791:
--------------------------------
May or may not be acceptable for all users but the workaround is basically the
same as the library fix I believe
[https://github.com/gocd/gocd/pull/11572/commits/6969c176811056383a0d4c642d6920437d738669]
> Regression in FileUtils.touch - no longer creates parent directories

> The behavior of this (and possibly other logic) seems to have regressed in
> 2.12.0 compared to 2.11.0. As documented in the Javadoc "Also, as from v1.3
> this method creates parent directories if they do not exist." (see
> [here|https://github.com/apache/commons-io/blob/6921f87e35cfbd5d725011883b9d1c492f26b31d/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.java#L3077-L3091])
> but this no longer works, instead it uses *PathUtils.touch* which does not
> have the capability of creating the parent dirs.
> {{e.g}}
> {code:java}
> @Test
> public void doTouch() throws Exception {
> FileUtils.touch(new File("doesnt-exist", "touchme.txt"));
> }{code}
> {{doesnt-exist/touchme.txt}}
> {{java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: doesnt-exist/touchme.txt}}
> {{ at
> java.base/sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:92)}}

> java.base/sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:106)}}

> {{ at org.apache.commons.io.file.PathUtils.touch(PathUtils.java:1613)}}
> {{ at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.touch(FileUtils.java:3090)}}

> Appears to have regressed in
> [https://github.com/apache/commons-io/commit/fd7c8182d2117d01f43ccc9fe939105f834ba672]
> - *PathUtils* relies on java.nio.Files.createFile which explicitly does not
> have ability to create parent directories.
