relative File Path in RSpec

Question

I have a RSpec test for a class in /lib/classes which needs access to a zip file (no upload). The file is stored in /spec/fixtures/files/test.zip.

Answer 1

Rails.root will give you the app root, so

Rails.root.join "spec/fixtures/files/test.zip"

will give you the absolute path of your file, agnostic of the location of the app on your hard drive.
