I have a Test file with fallowing required items

require ‘test/unit’  
require ‘unittests/setup’  
require ‘watir’  
require ‘watir/WindowHelper’  
…  
…  
…  
…  
.

when i run this file i got the error  
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- unittests/setup (LoadError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`require’  
from IE\_Test.rb:2

I have attached custom\_require.rb with this post.

what could be the solution for this error.

Regards,  
puneet.

(Notice that’s line 2 of your script)

Apart from the rubygems noise, that error is fairly clear. Line 2 of  
your program has an error. You are executing

require ‘unittests/setup’

and no such library was found on your system. That’s what “no such file  
to load – unittests/setup (LoadError)” means.

If ‘unittests/setup’ is a third-party library (I’ve never heard of it),  
then you need to install it.

If ‘unittests/setup’ is your own code, then ensure that you have set up  
Ruby’s $LOAD\_PATH (or $:) so that it can be found.
