[mimachniak]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Hi team,
Is a possibility to create whole folder path and structure when file shoudl be located in dedicated folder, smililar like in PowerShell with --force swith when we create New-Item, I see scenarios whe this will be reguired before servers or application be install or created

Example of config

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json

resources:

- name: Test File
  type: Microsoft.Filesystem.File/Content
  properties:
    _exist: true # This will work as force 
    path: C:\dsc\config\file-content\New\TestFile.txt
    content: "This is a test file."

or option B

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json

resources:

- name: Test File
  type: Microsoft.Filesystem.File/Content
  properties:
    force: true # Creation file and path
    path: C:\dsc\config\file-content\New\TestFile.txt
    content: "This is a test file."

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Now when I try to create file in path that don't exist as Subfolder I got error"
