Ruby require local file problem

[Svin Svin]

I have two files foo.rb and test.rb in the same folder.

test.rb
------------------------------------
puts RUBY_VERSION
require 'foo'
------------------------------------

foo.rb
------------------------------------
module Foo
PATTT = "2323"
class Foo2
def f
puts 'hello world'
end
end
end

puts 'eee'
------------------------------------



Running under NetBeans it's OK. But running test.rb through concole OR
RubyMine fails with:


C:\USERS\ADMIN>ruby
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\NetBeansProjects\RubyApplication1\l
ib\test.rb
1.9.1
C:/Users/Admin/Documents/NetBeansProjects/RubyApplication1/lib/test.rb:2:in
`req
uire': no such file to load -- foo (LoadError)
from
C:/Users/Admin/Documents/NetBeansProjects/RubyApplication1/lib/test
rb:2:in `<main>'

Simple: you're trying to require 'foo' from a directory that is not
the current one.

If both test.rb and foo.rb are located in the same directory, doing
"ruby path\to\test.rb" will not be able to find foo in the same path.

Now, if you CD into the directory test.rb and foo.rb are located,
require 'foo' will succeed, since the current directory is in the
$LOAD_PATH.

That helps?

Thanks, it helps!

Why it's so different from python/java
