Dir.pwd gives the current working directory. To get the directory of
the script you are running you can use File.dirname(FILE)

Hi, not entirely sure why you need the directory the same as the file,
but
every time I’ve needed that, it had to do with relative positioning of
files. If that’s the case for you, then you might check out this blog
