Ruby - Is there a way to overwrite the __FILE__ variable?
- by Markus Orrelly
I'm doing some unit testing, and some of the code is checking to see if files exist based on the relative path of the currently-executing script by using the FILE variable. I'm doing something like this:
if File.directory?(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'..','..','directory'))
blah blah blah ...
else
raise "Can't find directory"
end
I'm trying to find a way to make it fail in the unit tests without doing anything drastic. Being able to overwrite the __ FILE __ variable would be easiest, but as far as I can tell, it's impossible.
Any tips?
