i know this has been hashed out, but i seem to have missed the conclusion to
it…
say i have written a class, Klass, which requires some modifications to class
Array and i have the following hierarchy of files
klass/klass.rb
klass/array.rb
and i would like my ‘klass.rb’ file to require ‘array.rb’ without specifying
the entire path and to ensure it does not find some other ‘array.rb’ along the
search path
(i could say require ‘klass/array.rb’ in this case, but i thinking more
generally of this problem)
my solution is to do this in klass.rb
require (File.dirname (FILE) << File::SEPARATOR << ‘array.rb’)
which picks up MY ‘array.rb’ and no other no matter where the package was
installed. does anyone see a problem which this?
