1757957 - Add async IOUtils equivalents of FileUtils.getFile / FileUtils.getDir

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: OS.File, task)

Description

[Beth Rennie [:beth] (she/her)]

FileUtils.getFile (and therfore FileUtils.getDir) do main-thread IO to create directories. It would be handy to have an async version that resolves to nsIFiles for migrating away from these functions.

There are some r+ patches which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:barret, could you have a look please?
If you still have some work to do, you can add an action "Plan Changes" in Phabricator.
