I'm trying to open a file from with a Ruby Rack extension I wrote called rack-xsl.
If I try "File.open(...)", it fails with this error:
private method `open' called for Rack::File:Class
Instead, I can use the double colon prefix, or colon colon class name, or ::File:
if @options[:reload] == true @xslt = XML::XSLT.new() refreshxsl = ::File.open(@options[:xslfilename]) {|f| f.read } @xslt.xsl = REXML::Document.new refreshxsl end
Sweet!
