Problem requiring rspec within jruby-complete jar

Hi,

I am trying to use rspec that is included in the jruby-complete jar. I
have a test.rb created that has the following two lines:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘spec’

Then when I run “java -jar jruby-complete-1.1.6.jar”, I got the
following error message:

file:/C:/package/lib/jruby/jruby-complete-1.1.6.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/rub
y/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in require': no such file to load -- spec (LoadError) from file:/C:/package/lib/jruby/jruby-complete-1.1.6.jar!/META-INF/jruby .home/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:inrequire’
from test.rb:3

Any idea how do I fix this?

Thanks,

–Gary

gem ‘rspec’

After adding the line above, it works for me.

Thanks Nick, it works! :slight_smile:

So what does the “gem ‘rspec’” do? Do I need to add this line every
time I want to include a gem package?

Thanks,

It “activates” the gem, which adds the appropriate entries to the load
path.

There are some cases where you don’t need it (and I’m not sure what
they still are to be honest), but it generally doesn’t hurt to just
use it all the time and be explicit about which gems you activate.

I’m curious whether we could make rubygems work correctly from within
the jar too. I assume this is a failure of the gemspec logic to
appropriately index/load the gem lib/ dirs when rubygems starts up from
within a jar, yes?
