I want to require file all_class from file log_in_test.rb.
I tried all kinds of require and require_relative, for example
#require "../../ib4b-template/features/page-object/all_class"
require_relative "page-object/all_class"
and they are not working. Can anyone kindly give me a hand?
Try this:
require_relative 'all_class' # without 'page-object/'
The most common way to solve this problem is using File.dirname(__FILE__):
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', 'all_class')
Use
require_relative '../page_object/all_class'
relative to support/log_in_test.rb, all_class.rb lies in above path.
require doesn't find if the directory structure is not in the Ruby's library path.
require_relative': cannot load such file -- H:/My H Drive/Workspace/ib4b-template/page_object/all_class (LoadError) from log_in_test.rb:5:in <main>'"require_relative './page_object/all_class.rb'
or
require_relative './page_object/all_class'
the '.rb' part is optional
You should use require_relative instead of require when you are working on a project and want to require one file from one of the directories into another.
You should use require to add gem libraries to your project.
Also, a good practice to use when working on a larger practice is to make a environment.rb file in the config folder and have that require all the the models and then having the executables requiring that environment file.
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..','page-object', 'all_class')
require': cannot load such file -- ./../../page-object/all_class (LoadError) from C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in require' from log_in_test.rb:5:in `<main>'"
