What is the best way to get a temporary directory with nothing in it using Ruby on Rails? I need the API to be cross-platform compatible. The stdlib tmpdir won’t work.

The
Dir#tmpdirfunction in the Ruby core (not stdlib that you linked to) should be cross-platform.To use this function you need to
require 'tmpdir'.
