Ruby require local file problem

ruby-talk
1

I have two files foo.rb and test.rb in the same folder.

test.rb

···

------------------------------------
puts RUBY_VERSION
require 'foo'
------------------------------------

foo.rb
------------------------------------
module Foo
  PATTT = "2323"
  class Foo2
    def f
      puts 'hello world'
    end
  end
end

puts 'eee'
------------------------------------

Running under NetBeans it's OK. But running test.rb through concole OR
RubyMine fails with:

C:\USERS\ADMIN>ruby
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\NetBeansProjects\RubyApplication1\l
ib\test.rb
1.9.1
C:/Users/Admin/Documents/NetBeansProjects/RubyApplication1/lib/test.rb:2:in
`req
uire': no such file to load -- foo (LoadError)
        from
C:/Users/Admin/Documents/NetBeansProjects/RubyApplication1/lib/test
.rb:2:in `<main>'

Simple: you're trying to require 'foo' from a directory that is not
the current one.

If both test.rb and foo.rb are located in the same directory, doing
"ruby path\to\test.rb" will not be able to find foo in the same path.

Now, if you CD into the directory test.rb and foo.rb are located,
require 'foo' will succeed, since the current directory is in the
$LOAD_PATH.

That helps?

Thanks, it helps!

Why it's so different from python/java :frowning:
