rspec users - Aug 2009 - Loading webrat when installed as a plugin

Hello list,

When installing Webrat as a plugin, do I need to change the "require
''webrat''" to point to the absolute directory in which
webrat is
installed in the vendor/plugins folder or is there any implicit logic
in the require that I am missing? I didn''t find anything in the rSpec
book about this (see In chapter 20, page 276, the book shows the
"plugin approach" of bundling the libraries).

Thanks,

Marcelo.

Rails handles this for you implicitly. Are you having a problem?

David, thanks for the reply!

Yes. I don''t have Cucumber, rspec, rspec-rails nor webrat installed as
gems system-wide. I only have them as plugins in the app. When I try
to run a sample feature with script/cucumber, I get the following
output:
>$ script/cucumber vendor/plugins/cucumber/examples/selenium
>no such file to load -- spec/expectations

I mean, having these libraries self-contained in the app is the whole
idea of installing them as plugins. However, script/cucumber is still
trying to find system-wide gems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Marcelo.
