directory structure

[Giedrius]

1) how to set working directory for irb?
2) is there default or if not, could you share your own good coding
practice where to put additional source files as:
a) wsdl2ruby genereated files
b) own classes, not controllers / not models / not views
c) other source files

2) is there default or if not, could you share your own good coding
practice where to put additional source files as:
a) wsdl2ruby genereated files
b) own classes, not controllers / not models / not views

These I put into ~/lib/ruby and set env var RUBYLIB accordingly.

c) other source files

Wherever I need them. Sometimes with the files I need to process,
sometimes in a global experimental dir (for tesing out things). HTH

Kind regards

irb(main):018:0> Dir:wd
=3D> "c:/temp"
irb(main):019:0> Dir::chdir "c:/programs"
=3D> 0
irb(main):020:0> Dir:wd
=3D> "c:/programs"

I don't think I have good practices, I lump stuff together in a
subversion directory called ruby/repository/, and make subdirs when I
feel like it. If I write something particularly re-useful I copy it
to site_ruby.
