Issue #20676 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).
I think we should add Pathname#start_with?(path) for convenience, or maybe Pathname#inside?(path).
Yes, having methods to check if a path is a child or parent of the other would be very convenient. Should be opened as a new feature request though. ---------------------------------------- Feature #20676: Pathnames aren't Comparable https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20676#change-109421 * Author: gmcgibbon (Gannon McGibbon) * Status: Feedback ---------------------------------------- 👋 I was working with Pathnames recently and noticed that I could do: ```rb Pathname("/a/b").to_s <= Pathname("/a/b/c").to_s ``` but could not do: ```rb Pathname("/a/b") <= Pathname("/a/b/c") ``` to check if pathnames are subdirectories of each other. Pathname implements [`<=>`](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Pathname.html#method-i-3C-3D-3E) with case insensitive matching for use-cases like this, but does not include Comparable. I think Pathname should include Comparable. I've opened a [PR here](https://github.com/ruby/pathname/pull/40) for your consideration. Thanks! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
