If File.exist? does not work

I got like:

if File.exist? "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/#{property.id}/middle/#{image.name}"
File.unlink "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/#{property.id}/middle/#{image.name}"
end

why it does not work ?

error
No such file or directory - script/../config/../public/images/144/middle/cfa9a31932bea2904485b56294764a6b.jpg

The snippet you posted works, assuming the wrapping is introduced by
the post software.

Could there be a typo that is causing the 'if' to be treated as the end
of a previous statement? This would also require a 'begin' to match
the 'end'...

cheers

Looks ok to me. But to avoid spelling errors I'd store the name in a
variable like
f = File.join RAILS_ROOT, "public", "images", property.id, "middle", image.name
File.unlink f if File.exists? f
