Hi Chuck,
I have set myself up with VMware Fusion and brought down my scripts
and folders from github but how do I handle this?
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require': cannot load such file -- common/helper_methods (LoadError)
from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
36:in `require'
from add_multiple_share_members_types.rb:7:in `<main>'
>Exit code: 1
Do I need to place the full path in the script? I use a csv file for
input data in the app too.
Code:
# the rubygems
require "rubygems"
# the Watir webdriver controller
require "watir-webdriver"
require 'common/helper_methods'
#require 'discussion/generate_sharing_data'
require 'faster_csv'
helper = HelperMethods.new($browser)
#Call method to delete text from file
name_of_file = 'multi_add_discussion_headers.txt'
helper.delete_file_text(name_of_file)
#Call method to delete text from file
name_of_file = 'multi_add_discussion_reusable_data.txt'
helper.delete_file_text(name_of_file)
#Setting variable name with script name
script_name = File.basename(__FILE__,".rb")
Thank you,
Joe
