File.dirname(__FILE__) will give you the directory of the current file, so you can place this in-front of your requires to make sure they are always relative to the current file, rather than the current directory:
Testscript1.rb: require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../Common/LibTestCase1' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../Common/LibTestCase2' You could also add "File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../Common/'" to the path like this: $: << File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../Common/' So then requires can just be: require 'LibTestCase1' require 'LibTestCase2' These are just issues related to how Ruby deals with relative paths and the current directory, regardless of whether you ran the code from C# or not. However, it should find win32ole just fine ... do you have an app.config for your C# app which sets the load path (see ir.exe.config for example). ~js > -----Original Message----- > From: ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core- > boun...@rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Eelco Henderichs > Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 1:47 PM > To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org > Subject: [Ironruby-core] C# running ruby scripts give error: no such file to > load > > Hello ironruby user, > > Here I am with another question.
