The recommended way of avoiding this issue is to use ruby -I test test/unit/whatever.rb Apparently putting the dirname in the require can cause all sorts of issues that I do not understand and we just have to put up with it. ( I don't mean we have to put up with not understanding it). I must admit that since I have never come across any of those issues I just put the dirname in. My projects are personal rather than commercial however so the fact that I may fall over this some day is my problem only. I think if I were doing a commercial app I would probably not put the dirname in, and put up with it.
