Tempfile fails with FakeFS installed: Directory not found about fakefs

[jyurek]

There's a load order issue at work here. Requiring Tempfile after FakeFS means Tempfile's extension to Dir gets loaded onto the Fake Dir, not RealDir. Deactivating FakeFS then breaks Tempfile completely. I don't know of a way around that except to make sure FakeFS gets loaded after Tempfile. The /tmp directory itself should simply be created by a test helper or something.

Hello,
The problem here is not the load order, it happens that FakeFS::Dir.mkdir won't work properly when the path starts with a dot.
A fix for this and other issues, at my fork http://github.com/marano/fakefs .
Cheers.

I am using @defunkt master branch. I am unable to create a Tempfile - No such file or directory - tmp. Is there any new knowledge about a fix for this?

I'm also seeing this issue (using rspec with rails). Changing the require order doesn't seem to help

[iainbeeston]

It seems that Dir._check_for_valid_file('tmp') can't find the tmp dir in my rails install

I've volunteered to update fakefs a little bit and triage the existing issues. Does anyone have a good reproducible test case for this? Please post a gist or something and I'll reopen.

Awesome. Thanks for all of your hard work, Brian.
