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. How do I input the correct path so it’s environment agnostic, i.e. without absolute path?

    As far as I know (from looking every month or two) there is no better way that building something in spec_helper that uses the __FILE__ value to grab the path to a know bit of content, then build your own helpers on top of that.

    You can obviously use a path relative to __FILE__ in the individual *_spec.rb file as well.
