I am attempting to take an interactive ruby test to no avail, I
downloaded the zip file with no problems and followed the directions for
the terminal command line where I continue to get the following error. I
am using Ruby ruby 1.9.3p392 (2013-02-22 revision 39386)
[x86_64-darwin10.8.0].
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions thank you in advance.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Install RSpec
gem install rspec
Enter the course directory. (That's the same directory that this
index.html file is in.)
cd learn_ruby
Enter the 00_hello lab.
cd 00_hello
Open a terminal in this directory
cd 00_hello
This directory is the starting point for this exercise. It contains a
spec file and you'll be adding a ruby file to (eventually) make the
specs pass.
Run the test
rake
Watch it fail
You should see an error. Don't get scared! Try to read it and figure out
what the computer wants to tell you. Somewhere on the first line it
should say something like
no such file to load -- test-first-teaching/hello/hello (LoadError)

So that should be pretty self-explanatory, no?
Where is this "zip file" from?
Hi @Hassan, I'm sorry but it's not self-explanatory for me, if you'd be
able to help me understand what I'm doing wrong? The zip file came from
the test creators "Learn Ruby" github account.

It's telling you that it's looking for a file with one of those names in
the current directory. Is there one? If not, either it's been deleted
or you're in the wrong directory. If there is, in fact, such a file you
have a bigger problem.
The zip file came from the test creators "Learn Ruby" github account.
Uh, yeah, but if you tell us *exactly where* other people can download
it and have a much better chance of helping you
(Assuming it's open-source, of course.)

The only thing I see unusual is the system-wide rvm install but that's
no reason for it not to work. Unless there's some sort of permissions
problem between your rake in /usr/local and wherever you have this
project. Is it somewhere under your home directory? What are the
perms/ownership of the project and the Rakefile?

Oh ok, when I did rake -V this was the output (rake, version 10.1.0).
Here are the permissions for the project, including rakefile. Thanks so
much for your help.

Again, it seems a little unusual to have plain files with executable
permission settings, but that doesn't seem likely to cause this issue.
I'm running out of ideas. You might want to try blowing this all away
and re-installing it to see if anything changes.
Or, if this is your personal system, deleting the global rvm installation
and installing it for your own userid.
If I had access to your system I'd stick some debugging statements
in rake itself to see what's going on, but trying to coordinate that via
email would be painfully time-consuming
But if no one else has any better ideas...
