$:.unshift File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),\
'vendor','addressable-2.1.0','lib','addressable','uri')
Does the code above access a file that has this path:
'vendor/addressable-2.1.0/lib/addressable/uri'
I’m trying to vendor the addressable gem into a Sinatra app to deploy it to my hosting provider but I keep receiving:
"no such file to load -- addressable/uri"
after putting the ‘unshift‘ line in config.ru.
The above code adds the path “vendor/addressable-2.1.0/lib/addressable/uri” to the global variable used for looking up external files. The path will be relative to the directory that houses the file this code is placed in. So were {dir} is the directory config.ru is placed, it will add
{dir}/vendor/addressable-2.1.0/lib/addressable/urito the lookup path for includes.
