I am having trouble running the RubySpecs from rake. First I get this: D:\dev\ruby\ironruby\head\>rake mspec:lib (in D:/dev/ruby/ironruby/head) mspec/bin/mspec:141:in `exec’: No such file or directory - d:\dev\ruby\ironruby\head\build\release\ir.cmd (Errno::ENOENT) ``` from mspec/bin/mspec:141:in `run' from ``` d:/dev/ruby/ironruby/head/tests/ironruby/util/mspec/lib/mspec/utils/script.r b:91:in `main’ ``` from mspec/bin/mspec:146 ``` rake aborted! Command failed with status (1): [ruby mspec/bin/mspec ci -t d:\dev\ruby\iro…] D:/dev/ruby/ironruby/head/rakefile:350:in `invoke\_mspec’ (See full trace by running task with --trace) It appears that ir.cmd is hard-coded inside rake to look in the release folder rather than debug, which is to where rake compile is building. OK so I copy the files over from debug to release and now I get: D:\dev\ruby\ironruby\head\>rake mspec:lib (in D:/dev/ruby/ironruby/head) d:\dev\ruby\ironruby\head\src\IronRuby.Libraries\Builtins\kernelops.cs:300:i n `require’: no such file to load – optparse (LoadError) ``` from :0:in `Initialize##1' ``` rake aborted! Command failed with status (1): [ruby mspec/bin/mspec ci -t d:\dev\ruby\iro…] D:/dev/ruby/ironruby/head/rakefile:351:in `invoke\_mspec’ (See full trace by running task with --trace) I get the same result with rake mspec:core and mspec:lang. Any ideas? Pete ---

Copy optparse.rb from an MRI installation (i.e. lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb) into the same directory as ir.exe … I believe this worked for me when I was working on getting mspec running. On Thu, Jun 5, 2008 at 8:50 AM, Peter Bacon D. \< ---

You need to remove the SIGNED compliation constants from the project files. If you notice it’s looking for a strong-named assembly.

Thanks Michael. I copied it across but still got the same failure. I can’t even get the optparse.rb to require directly (here optparse.rb is in the build\debug folder): D:\dev\ruby\ironruby\head\build\debug\>ir IronRuby 1.0.0.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.1433 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.

Optparse should be in the Libs folder with our hacks and such. If it’s not then something didn’t get pushed out correctly.

optparse.rb is not there but also I find that I can’t require any of those rb files in lib at the moment. So to rather than require ‘socket’ I am having to do the whole load\_assembly… which is a bit annoying.
