How to find directory of currently running .rb file

__FILE__ is just giving me the file name, with no path, and Dir.getwd is giving me an error: "ENOENT: No such file or directory." What is the proper way to get this info?

Thanks in advance,
Ken McDonald

__FILE__ gives you the path it was called with, if your Ruby script is
in the current working directory it will return “./foo.rb” if it is in
/usr/local/bin __FILE__ will be “/usr/local/bin/foo.rb”. If you want
the full path instead of “./” Dir.getwd should work.
