Hi All

I am having the following error when I try to require 'test/unit', on
Mac OS X using rbenv with rub 1.9.3, has anyone seen this error before ?
if so can you tell me how to fix it.

Thanks

No, you have an error when you try to require 'experiment01', not 'test/unit'. Look at your load path.

maybe you used require 'experiment01'
instead of require_relative 'experiment01'?

It works with "require_relative 'experiment01'", but I am sure why it
didn't work with just require.

Ruby looks for files in a list of directories called $LOAD_PATH. If your file isn't in one of these directories 'require' won't find it. If you puts $LOAD_PATH you can see the list of directories.

In case you just switched from 1.8 to 1.9:
The behaviour of require changed in 1.9.2, since the path of
the requiring file is no longer included in the $LOAD_PATH.

Thus, to require a file in the same directory,
you need to e.g. use either

   require './myfile'

or

   require_relative 'myfile'

See also <Module: Kernel (Ruby 1.9.3);
