Working on a tutorial and starting to use TDD/rspec.
For some reason I cannot get it to work. Been working trying to fix
this over two days now.
The tutorial has given me a Rakefile that should work. I also have a
spec file and I am creating a file to pass the tests.
I am supposed to run 'rake' in my console to have it return the passing
or failing tests, but each time (no matter how much I move things
around) I get the following message (as if the 'hello.rb' file doesn't
exist):
in /Users/******/Desktop/********/learn_ruby)
/Users/*******/Desktop/******/learn_ruby/00_hello/hello_spec.rb:116:in
`require': cannot load such file -- hello (LoadError)
You are probably not setting up the load path correctly for it to be
able to find hello.rb. If it's in the same directory as hello_spec.rb,
you should be able to just give:
require './hello'
in hello_spec.rb; the './' says to use the current directory as the
current file. If this isn't the case, more work will be required.
And let me say: Good for you!

I was able to run rake and include the (so far empty) hello.rb, using Ruby
1.9.3, which ruled out my initial theory that it required a Ruby version
from before the current directory was removed from the load path.

Thanks for the response.
Still didn't work. Tried to play around with all kinds of maneuvers on
the require path. But the same issues.
Yep. I tried with Ruby 2.0 and then back to 1.9.3.
My thought is that there is some older rake file (or something) that is
getting in the way. I've done a bunch of reading on this and trying
things out, but still no luck.
I've also had a friend look at it and he was able to run it on his
system.
