Why does it fail to find 'factory.rb', though? Shouldn't a 'require', written in file A, find a co-located file B, regardless of the loadpath? It may be desirable to avoid the RAILS_ROOT and __FILE__ versions of 'require' to avoid loading the file multiple times, unnecessarily. For example, you might get warnings about 'redefined' constants. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
