How to find a File path in Rails

I'm using the .foreach method from the Ruby CSV library and I need help in finding a path to a file within my rails application. 

 CSV.foreach("path/to/file.csv") do |row|
    # use row here...
  end

To upload CSV files I'm using the Paperclip gem which has a method .url for the file location:

CSV.foreach(CsvUpload.last.csvfile.url) do |row|
   #more code
end

  CsvUpload Load (0.2ms)  SELECT `csv_uploads`.* FROM `csv_uploads` ORDER BY csv_uploads.id DESC LIMIT 1
No such file or directory - /system/csvfiles/17/original/uploadthis.csv?1305217588

The actual path of the file is: /Users/boris/projects/chaggregator/public/system/csvfiles/17/original/uploadthis.csv?1305217588

Is there a Rails method for getting the full path?

You need to include the "/Users/boris/projects/chaggregator/public" portion. Paperclip includes a path method to give this to you:

CSV.foreach(CsvUpload.last.csvfile.path) do |row|
  #more code
end
