Don't forget to require 'tmpdir'
If you simply say Dir.tmpdir you might get a nice surprise:
irb> Dir.tmpdir NoMethodError: undefined method `tmpdir' for Dir:Class
from (irb):1
Strangely, this method seems to be stored in a file that Ruby doesn’t require by default. Just require 'tmpdir' and all should be well.
irb> require 'tmpdir' => true irb> Dir.tmpdir => "/var/folders/An/AnwlXPZFH2aRLCERERQDKE+++TI/-Tmp-"
