Ruby / Rails - produce path to uploaded file

Question

So I'm trying to get my "path to an uploaded archive.zip"

in my model:

def path_to_upload "#{self.folder.path}" end

gives me:

/Users/jweber/Sites/Proofer_v2/public/assets/415/Archive.zip

but what I want is,

/Users/jweber/Sites/Proofer_v2/public/assets/415/

and I've produced it with:

def path_to_upload "#{self.folder.path.split("/").reverse.drop(1).reverse.join("/")}/" end

but that looks crappy, Do you know a "beautiful" way to return the desired output? I'd even settle for less than hideous.

How about

File.dirname(self.folder.path) + '/' #=> "/Users/jweber/Sites/Proofer_v2/public/assets/415/"
