I'm trying to show a list of links (in index.html) to text files in a directory, for downloading the file. Where there is a subdirectory, I want its link to refresh the index page and list the files in that subdirectory (as links for download).
My file_transfers/index.html.erb has:
<%- output_dir ||= 'outputs/' %>
<%- Dir.foreach(output_dir) do |f| %>
<%= link_to f, output_dir + f %>
<%- end %>
My last route in config/routes.rb is:
match ':file_dir/:file_name' => 'file_transfers#show'
Controller:
def show
file = params[:file_dir] + '/' + params[:file_name]
file += ".#{params[:format]}" if params[:format]
if File.directory?(file)
render :index, :locals => {:output_dir => file + '/'}
else
send_file params[:file_dir] + '/' + params[:file_name], :type => "text/csv"
render :index
end
end
When I click a directory link it does indeed refresh the list with its files, but the links show an extra 'output/' dir in the path when I hover over them, yet the href attr in the html does not have the extra path. It's like the extra folder is taken to be part of the root 0.0.0.0:3000 (as in 0.0.0.0:3000/outputs)
