latest_dir

get_latest_directory(path)

Find the latest directory in the given path based on timestamp in the directory name.

The function expects directory names in the format ‘YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-microseconds’. It returns the full path of the directory with the latest timestamp.

Args: path (str): The path to search for directories.

Returns:

Type Description

str or None: Full path of the latest directory, or None if no directories are found.

Raises: ValueError: If no directories are found in the given path. ValueError: If any directory name doesn’t match the expected timestamp format.

Examples:

import tempfile import pytest with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir: … # Create test directories … os.mkdir(os.path.join(tmpdir, ‘2024-09-14_15-18-59_216694’)) … os.mkdir(os.path.join(tmpdir, ‘2024-09-14_16-20-00_000000’)) … os.mkdir(os.path.join(tmpdir, ‘2024-09-15_10-30-00_123456’)) … latest = get_latest_directory(tmpdir) … os.path.basename(latest) ‘2024-09-15_10-30-00_123456’ with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir: … # Test with no directories … with pytest.raises(ValueError): … get_latest_directory(tmpdir) with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir: … # Test with non-standard named directory … os.mkdir(os.path.join(tmpdir, ‘not_a_timestamp’)) … os.mkdir(os.path.join(tmpdir, ‘2024-09-14_15-18-59_216694’)) … with pytest.raises(ValueError): … get_latest_directory(tmpdir)
