Instance Method Details

#expand_path_relative_to_caller ⇒ Object

Description:

This method returns an absolute expansion of self, relative to the caller’s source file. Note that this method is a no-op if self is an absolute Pathname.

Examples:

If the caller’s source file is:

/usr/bin/scripts/print_file.rb

then

relative_path = Pathname.new("config/print_file.cfg")
absolute_path = relative_path.expand_path_relative_to_caller()

will make absolute_path equal to:

Pathname.new("/usr/bin/scripts/config/print_file.cfg")

Parameters:

file_name

A file system path relative to the calling file

Returns:

An absolute expansion of self, relative to the caller’s source file.
