Ironruby core - Oct 2007 - Help running IronRuby tests

I''d like to know how to run the unit tests, so I can check if my change
broke anything. The test harness is a little weird, in that it wants a bunch
of strange environment variables and paths. For example, trying "ruby
run.rb"
in tests\ironruby gives:

tests/ironruby/common.rb:25: undefined method `+'' for nil:NilClass
(NoMethodError)
        from run.rb:5:in `require''
        from run.rb:5

The stack trace points to this code in common.rb:

    MERLIN_ROOT     = get_environment_variable(''MERLIN_ROOT'')
    TEST_DIR        = MERLIN_ROOT + "/Languages/Ruby/Tests"
    CORECLR_ROOT    = MERLIN_ROOT + "/Utilities/Silverlight/x86ret"
    ROWAN_BIN       = get_environment_variable(''ROWAN_BIN'')

Where the "TEST_DIR" assignment fails. Anyone know a simple way to get
the
test harness running? I''d be glad to test any instructions :)

Haibo on my team is working on a fix for this. We should have something for you
by end of day tomorrow.

Thanks,
