How to set the directory context to the same dir or nearby dir of currently executing Ruby script
Raw
Ruby Script Directory Context
#place at top of file
$:.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__))
#this will include the dir context to the same folder as the currently executing script
-
|-examples
|-example1.rb
|-lib
|-library1.rb
#with this structure and the code, you can do:
$:.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../lib")
#the case shown here is excellent for say having a gem with an examples directory and you want to set the dir context to the lib dir
