I suggest running from your app root. What happens if you do ruby -I test test/unit/line_test.rb > > The next question is a small one. What is the difference between: > -ruby unit/line_test.rb That will only work if you run from the test folder, in fact I am surprised it works at all as I don't know how it finds the app environment. > -ruby test -I unit/line_test.rb That should be '-I test' not 'test -I' . It tells it to Include the folder test in the search path, so that require 'test_helper' at the top of the test file finds test/test_helper.rb > -ruby test unit/line_test.rb I don't think this would ever work.
