Rails - Feb 2010 - Get the path within a template (as in Rails template, not view template)

Hi guys. In one of my Rails templates (the type of template that you
pass to "rails -m template.rb"), I''m trying to determine the
path of
the template.

I''ve checked for instance variables from within the template, but only
@root and @logger exist.

Is there a way for the template to determine its path, or at least
which directory it''s located in?

Thanks!
Nick

Can you use __FILE__? Or File.dirname(__FILE__) if you just want the
directory?

Best,
Steve

Unfortunately not. It seems the template is pushed through #eval.
This:
    puts "file = [#{__FILE__.inspect}]"
outputs this:
    file = ["(eval)"]
