So I'm writing some rspec tests and I'm embarrassed at my lack of Ruby understanding.
I have a file structure that looks like the following:
- GUI_Tests/Tests/test_spec.rb
- GUI_Tests/windows_gui.rb
- GUI_Tests/upload_tool.rb
when I run spec for the test_spec.rb file, I require the upload_tool file to be included like so:
spec -r ../upload_tool -fs test_spec.rb
Then, the upload_tool requires windows_gui.rb, like so:
require '../windows_gui'
My question is, why so I have to reference windows_gui.rb relative to test_spec.rb (requiring the ../) rather than the upload_tool.rb? This feels wrong to me, I'll want to use the upload_tool.rb out of context of the test specs, which means changing the requires each time.
Clearly I'm missing something, but if I don't reference relative to the test spec I get a file not found error.
Sorry for being so ignorant here, but I'm coming up empty handed. Any thoughts appreciated.
