In my Rails application, I need to create a symlink between two files inside RAILS_ROOT. The names of target and symlink are given as absolute paths. However, I want to create a symlink that uses relative paths, so the application folder could easily be moved.
In other words, from RAILS_ROOT/path/foo/bar and RAILS_ROOT/path/baz I want to get ../../baz as an answer.
Is there a library function (or a simple one-liner) to do that?
Try the
relative_path_frommethod of a Pathname.
