Question

Ruby require only works for me with gems not with code that I have written. I’m not sure what it is that I am doing wrong.

This works

require "test-unit"
require "require "C:\\Users\\zreichert\\workspace\\FalconQA\\PageObjects\\Users\\user.rb"

This doesn’t work

require "Users/user"
require "Users\user"
require "Users/user.rb"
require "Users\user.rb"
require_relative "Users/user"
require_relative "Users\user"
require_relative "Users/user.rb"
require_relative "Users\user.rb"

The script that I am running is located in – C:/Users/zreichert/workspace/FalconQA/testCases

I have tried to change directories before require like this

Dir.chdir "C:/Users/zreichert/workspace/FalconQA/testCases"

All errors look something like this

c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in require': cannot load such file -- Users/user (LoadError)
from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:inrequire’
from C:/Users/zreichert/workspace/FalconQA/testCases/FAL001.rb:14:in `

you can try

require "./Users/user"
