Ruby文件删除黄瓜

Question

I'm running tests where I download a PDF file from a webpage, confirm it's gone to the download folder then delete it (to stop the folder being overwhelmed with PDF's).

When trying to use a wild card in the filepath so that others can run this test on their machine, I get an error saying that the file doesn't exist.

This is my code:

pdf_file = ("C:/Users/**/Downloads/myfile.pdf")

And(/^I can see the downloaded PDF$/) do
  puts Dir['C:/**/**/Downloads/myfile.pdf'].last
 File.delete(pdf_file)
end

It's odd that the wildcards work when confirming within the Dir.

As soon as I put the actual username in the file path, it works. Is there anyway to get around this?

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but--based on the code--you are passing a string that contains asterisks to File.delete . You need to call Dir::[] on that string to perform the wildcard conversion(s) before passing it to File.delete . For example:

File.delete(Dir["C:/Users/**/Downloads/myfile.pdf"].last)
