i have several views, as well as some gems, that access the filesystem. this seems to work fine until i run the server as a daemon. rails (4.2.3)
for example in one of my views I access the README file in the root of the app
File.read('README.md')
when running as a daemon, i get the error No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - README.md
the error page shows the Rails.root path, which is correct. i CAN fix this problem by doing:
File.read("#{Rails.root}/README.md")
however this issue breaks more than just my views. It would seem an issue with the rails server.
This is how daemonized process works - chdir
to / or another working directory. Some programs allow you to specify working directory for daemon process. For example puma
server uses current directory by default so it might work for you.
