The error message above looks like it tries to open the empty file name:

16:24:03 $ ruby19 -e 'File.open("")'
-e:1:in `initialize': No such file or directory -  (Errno::ENOENT)
        from -e:1:in `open'
        from -e:1:in `<main>'

This means either you passed the empty string in or the code somehow
converted what you passed to this.  We would need to see more though
in order to decide what's going on.

Kind regards

robert
