# directory
|
|
|
|
Use the `directory` Chef InSpec audit resource to test if the file type is a directory. This is equivalent to using the [`file` resource](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/resources/file/) and the `be_directory` matcher, but provides a simpler and more direct way to test directories.
