Getting access to variables in file

[Nick Skriloff]

Suppose that I have

fileA.rb and fileB.rb

FileA.rb has

require "./fileB"
require "minitest/autorun"

fileB.rb has

String SOME_CONSTANT = "test"
class MakeCommandFiles
  String BASE_DIR_EXPANDED = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__));

  def makeFirstCommandFile()

  end
end

In FileA.rb I could access the constant in fileB.rb by the class name like so
MakeCommandFiles::BASE_DIR_EXPANDED

 

How do I access SOME_CONSTANT from fileA.rb? 

Sincerely, Nick Skriloff

Nick -

The SOME_CONSTANT is defined at the top level outside of any explicit class, so you don't need to preface it with anything. If you run these from the command line it will illustrate:

echo "FOO = 'hello'" > b.rb

echo "require_relative 'b'" > a.rb

echo "puts FOO" >> a.rb

ruby a.rb
