I've been trying to get a ruby file to require another ruby file and I feel like I'm going crazy. My setup is as follows
Two files in '/raid1/ruby-code/benchmark/'
Benchmarker is the main program at this point and wants to require CommandRunner, I've tried a bunch of different things and none of them work. The following is a list of all of the things I've put at the beginning of Benchmarker
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path(File.dirname($PROGRAM_NAME)) require 'CommandRunner'
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path(File.dirname($PROGRAM_NAME)) require './CommandRunner'
I've also tried all of the above permutations using require_relative. I've tried it loading the file into irb inside of emacs, and I've tried it at the command line. At one point in irb it would load once with
require 'CommandRunner'and then would load until I switched it back to './CommandRunner' and then it would load once again.
I've actually had the error say
`require_relative': no such file to load -- /raid1/ruby-code/benchmark/CommandRunner (LoadError)
which is the correct path to the file!
I've since switched it to load and that seems to be working, I'm seeing weird behavior but that just might be me. Does anyone have any idea what would be going on here?
