Jimmy,

Yes that worked, but it did point out another problem. When I do:

My::Domain.constants

I have somewhere like 15 references to .dll’s that won’t load unless I  
copy  
them off to the bin folder for IronRuby. The references for each of  
them  
are to their physical path, so I would have thought that to solve that  
issue. It’s not a major deal for now, but its kinda hokey copying those  
files over 🙂

Any ideas?

Have you tried requiring them? “require ‘foo’” will look on the path for  
foo.rb, as well as foo.dll. If you could provide a small repro of your  
issue I can give more help.

I know this is a bit of a longshot, but has anyone got an  
internalsvisibleto  
attribute to work so they could debug internal classes from ir itself?  
I  
tried to add the namespace “ir” and public key to the assembly I was  
trying  
to test to no avail.

Im building out some rspec & IronRuby tests of my .net assemblies and it  
would be nice if I could reach out and touch some internal classes 🙂

Running IronRuby with the “-X:PrivateBinding” will allow access to  
private members, which should also work for internal members (I believe,  
try it out just to be sure and report back).
