[code]
Dir.chdir '/tmp'
p = Pathname.new(pwd.chomp).basename.realpath
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /tmp/tmp
from (irb):17:in realpath' from (irb):17:in realpath'
from (irb):17
from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `'
[/code]

As I got p must be '/tmp'. Am I wrong?

Pathname.new("/tmp").basename returns "tmp", and expanded result from "/tmp" is "/tmp/tmp".
If you want pathname which may not exist, use Pathname#realdirpath instead.
