Text File Writer Assignment
Contents
Background
Ensure
Ruby provides begin/rescue/ensure which is rather analogous to try/catch/finally in Java.
note: although coincidental, it is rather fitting that this reference covers begin/rescue/ensure with ensuring to close an opened file as its example. Ensuring to close an opened file is the canonical example for this sort of feature.

Code To Implement
TextFileUtils
| file: | src/main/ruby/text_file_utils/text_file_utils.rb |  |
| class: | TextFileUtils | |
| superclass: | Object | |
| methods: | write_text(path) |
write_text(path)
Create a new File for the specified path in write mode.
If a block is given by the client, yield the file to that block (which will presumably write to the file), and ensure that you close the file. Return the closed file.
If no block is given, return the opened file.
Client
| file to run: | src/main/ruby/text_file_utils/text_file_utils.rb | |
In the same file you edit class TextFileUtils, you will find a simple client:
TextFileUtils.write_text(path) do |file|
file.write("<html><body><h1>#{Time.now}</h1></body></html>")
end
Testing Your Solution
| file: | src/test/ruby/text_file_utils/text_file_utils.rb | UnitTest |
note: ensure that you have removed all printing to receive credit for any assignment.
