You don't, the OP referred to the problem that if you run a unit test from the command line you get the error. If instead of running the unit test by ruby test/unit/whatever.rb you use ruby -I test test/unit/whatever.rb the error does not appear as the test directory is included in the ruby path. The problem does not appear in the first place when using rake test Colin > >> 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.
