Why can't Rails find this custom .yml file?

In applications.rb I added this:

SOME_CONFIG = = YAML.load_file(File.expand_path('../some_config.yml', __FILE__))

I placed the file in:

/some/folder/myapp/config/some_config.yml

Then when I run 'rails server' I开发者_运维问答 get an error:

.. in 'initialize' : no such file or directory /some/folder/myapp/config/some_config.yml (Errno::ENDENT) .... 'open' .... 'load_file' ....

Is this a permissions issue?

I don't believe this to be a permissions issue.

1) Double check your spelling to make sure there are no typos.
2) Try reading another file, and see if it works.
3) Try: YAML.load_file(File.join(Rails.root, 'config', 'some_config.yml')) (Your error message shows that the issue is not in expanding the filename, but you never know).
4) Can you access it from the console?

my_data =  HashWithIndifferentAccess.new(   YAML.load(File.read(File.expand_path('../../some_file.yml', __FILE__)))   )

now due to HashWithIndifferentAccess, you can get data in any of the given below syntax

my_data[:some_key] or my_data['some_key']
