Testing a library, how to auto, autoload

Hi,

I'm writing some tests for a library, and don't want to "require"
every single module/class. Anyone know if a quick way to set autoload
for all modules/classes for library?

If you have some way of recognizing the names of your classes (such as a regex), you could adapt the following:

if false
   autoload :FileUtils, "fileutils"
else
   class << Object
     alias old_const_missing const_missing
     def const_missing name
       case name.to_sym
       when :FileUtils; require "fileutils"; FileUtils
       else
         old_const_missing name
       end
     end
   end
end

class A
   def foo
     p FileUtils
   end
end

A.new.foo

Grab the contents of the folder, then loop through requiring them all.
