Hi ! I'm testing PayPal integration, and am using the Paypal gem. The Paypal gem requires the raw POST data, and not the pre-munged version that Rails uses. Running in dev mode, everything works fine, but in the tests, I can't seem to get at the data.

Hi there I''m trying to "require ''xmlsimple''" in some code that lives in vendor/ I''ve installed the xml-simple gem, and can confirm this at the command line with ''gem list --local'' which shows I have v.1.0.8 of the gem.

I am using XmlSimple to parse an XML string received from a remote host. I am getting the error message, "File does not exist: .".
