Don’t want to revive a 5 year old thread. But for those who came here
looking for answers, this is how I got it:

require ‘pathname’
filepath = some_valid_path
Pathname.new(filepath).realpath.to_s

The thing to note is that realpath expects the file to exist.

Is File.expand_path(filename) what you’re looking for?
