.cleanpath(path, rel_root = false) ⇒ String

Cleans a path by removing extraneous '..', '.' and '/' characters

Examples:

Clean a path

File.cleanpath('a/b//./c/../e') # => "a/b/e"

Parameters:

  • path (String)

    the path to clean

  • rel_root (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    allows relative path above root value

Returns:

  • (String)

    the sanitized path

# File 'lib/yard/core_ext/file.rb', line 37

def self.cleanpath(path, rel_root = false)
  path = path.split(SEPARATOR)
  path = path.inject([]) do |acc, comp|
    next acc if comp == RELATIVE_SAMEDIR
    if comp == RELATIVE_PARENTDIR && !acc.empty? && acc.last != RELATIVE_PARENTDIR
      acc.pop
      next acc
    elsif !rel_root && comp == RELATIVE_PARENTDIR && acc.empty?
      next acc
    end
    acc << comp
  end
  File.join(*path)
end

.open!(file, *args, &block)

Forces opening a file (for writing) by first creating the file's directory

Parameters:

  • file (String)

    the filename to open

Since:

  • 0.5.2

# File 'lib/yard/core_ext/file.rb', line 57

def self.open!(file, *args, &block)
  dir = dirname(file)
  FileUtils.mkdir_p(dir) unless directory?(dir)
  open(file, *args, &block)
end

.read_binary(file) ⇒ String

Reads a file with binary encoding

Returns:

  • (String)

    the ascii-8bit encoded data

Since:

  • 0.5.3

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/yard/core_ext/file.rb', line 66

def self.read_binary(file)
  File.open(file, 'rb', &:read)
end

.relative_path(from, to) ⇒ String

Turns a path to into a relative path from starting point from. The argument from is assumed to be a filename. To treat it as a directory, make sure it ends in File::SEPARATOR ('/' on UNIX filesystems).

Parameters:

  • from (String)

    the starting filename (or directory with from_isdir set to true).

  • to (String)

    the final path that should be made relative.

Returns:

  • (String)

    the relative path from from to to.

def self.relative_path(from, to)
  from = expand_path(from).split(SEPARATOR)
  to = expand_path(to).split(SEPARATOR)
  from.length.times do
    break if from[0] != to[0]
    from.shift; to.shift
  end
  from.pop
  join(*(from.map { RELATIVE_PARENTDIR } + to))
