Im going to be making and removing lots of directories using ruby and Im feeling a bit uneasy about it. One of my fears is that a potential typo after refactoring, cutting and pasting etc could cause my program to delete innocent and system vital directories. This creation and deletion code will be spread around my project and not just one place which makes it more prone to errors. For instance my tests will have to constantly remove any directories created during testing. Am i just being paranoid or do you black belt ruby developers have a few tricks to guard yourself from this hazzard? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
