Question

Here is my project structure:

/app
--/lib
----/porter.rb
--/spec
----/porter_spec.rb

In file porter_spec.rb i have include directive:

require '../lib/porter' 

Now I’m trying to run the test:

cd app
rspec

and get the error:

C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- ../lib/porter (LoadError)
        from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
        from C:/Dropbox/development/myprojects/lj-parser/spec/porter_spec.rb:3:in `<top (required)>'

How can I require file on lib folder?

Answer 1

Apparently, your current dir is not what you think it is.

You should use require_relative (ruby 1.9+):

require_relative '../lib/porter'
