Hi,
I am using Tempfile to store temporary data on disk.
The documentation I've read (The Ruby Way, p353) states:
"The new method (Tempfile.new("seed_str")) takes a basename as a seed string, and concatenates onto it the process id and a unique sequence number."
however, I am testing my web app, and request after request, I end up with the exact same filename..
I worked around this by actually adding a random number within the seed string:
rand_str = rand Tempfile.new(txt#{rand_str})
however, I am sure there must be a way to get Tempfile to work properly and return an actual unique name?
thanks for your help,
