I am trying to access a data list from inside a gem code, how should I set the file path ..

here is my gem file structure :

my_extension

      --- my_extension.gemspec       --- Gemfile       --- Gemfile.lock       >> lib           >> my_extension                     --- code_a.rb                     --- code_b.rb                     --- code_c.rb            --- my_extension.rb            >> my_data                     --- data.yml

from inside code_a.rb, I am trying to load an array from the data.yml : data = YAML::load(File.open("data.yml")) how should I set the path ??

thanks for feedback
