Ruby's File.open gives “No such file or directory - text.txt (Errno::ENOENT)” error

Question

I installed Ruby 1.9.2 on my Win 7 machine. Created a simple analyzer.rb file. It has this one line:

File.open(\"text.txt\").each {|line| puts l         


        

Answer 1

Ditto Casper's answer:

puts Dir.pwd

As soon as you know current working directory, specify the file path relatively to that directory.

For example, if your working directory is project root, you can open a file under it directly like this

json_file = File.read(myfile.json)
