# directory
|
|
|
|
Use the `directory` InSpec audit resource to test if the file type is a directory. This is equivalent to using the `file` resource and the `be_directory` matcher, but provides a simpler and more direct way to test directories. All of the matchers available to `file` may be used with `directory`.

## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `directory` resource block declares the location of the directory to be tested, and then one (or more) matchers:
|
|
|
|
describe directory('path') do
|
|
it { should MATCHER 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|

|
## Matchers
|
|
|
|
This resource may use any of the matchers available to the `file` resource that may be useful when testing a directory. For a full list of available matchers please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
