Hello Guys, Doing some svn up and some looking at the code in the repo, found that MERB_ROOT and the replacement Merb.root constant based heavily on Dir.pwd (on trunk: http://merb.devjavu.com/browser/trunk/lib/merb.rb#L89) Dir.pwd present a problem when you try to run something "outside" the root of your app, let say inside app directory it will wrongly assing MERB_ROOT to Dir.pwd and will not be able to locate any of the other files that depend on it. Also found other issues when running specs with it, but don''t have the code handy right now (on linux, code is on windows office). Shouldn''t we use instead File.expand_path(File.join(__FILE__, ''..'')) Yeah, a bit of dark to the code clarity, but it works. I''ll submit a proper patch later.
