You might consider something like this - putting all your shared files in a
common lib directory.
/test_root
--/lib
-- variables.rb
-- includeme.rb
--/login_tests
-- testfile.rb
-- testfile2.rb
--/other_functional_area
etc.
Then in your test files, you could put
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../lib/variables'
This should load the variable.rb file (notice that .rb is not needed)
regardless of where you are running it from. If you don't want to use the
lib directory idea, you can use the same method - just change the require
line to
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../variables'
