I need to access files that are relative to the location of my Ruby script.
The only solution I've found is using File.dirname(__FILE__)
, however, if the script is run from a symlink, __FILE__
gives the location of the symlink.
I would prefer a solution that does not involve looking at __FILE__
, checking if it's a link, if it is, finding out where it points to. But, if there is no other way, it would be nice to know if there is already a gem to do this?
