How to get the directory of the current script?

Hi,

How do I get the directory path of the file that is currently
executing?

Also, if I have a module, within a function, how do I get the parent
directory (full path) of that module?

Thanks

Javi

I've never done it so I don't know for sure, but I've seen lines like

Code Ruby:

---

RAILS_ROOT = "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/.." unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT)

---

so I'm guessing there's a way to use __FILE__ to get the full path similar to getting the directory name.

You should be able to use the Dir class.

Code:

---

Dir.pwd
