Ah, I see you are not actually using plugin_test_helper, on a re-read. Can you explain what you mean by "I have those things loaded in the environment". You load them in the environment how? We're not talking "Rails app environment", because there is none in your tests of the plugin, right? So are you just specifically loading the parts of Rails you need loaded in tests in your test code? require rubygems, require active-support? Or something else? Without Rails there, my _own_ classes don't seem to autoload, like they do in Rails. How are you loading all your own classes in so classes that reference each other can be tested? Even if I wanted to just "require" each one, one by one -- circular dependencies seem to cause a problem with that. Which the Rails autoloader somehow gets around, but I don't know how to do it myself for testing without Rails. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
