Issue #11041 has been updated by Paul Yeboah. NB: The ruby version listed as ruby -v is incorrect. The correct value should be: ruby 2.2.1p85 (2015-02-26 revision 49769) [x86_64-darwin14] ---------------------------------------- Bug #11041: Rake test task fails with LoadError when using Ruby version 2.2.1 [Mac OSX10.9] https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11041#change-52061 * Author: Paul Yeboah * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: 2.1.1p76 (2014-02-24 revision 45161) [x86_64-darwin12.0] * Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I have just started to use RVM and have installed ruby version 2.2.1. I have a test project whose Rake test task that I was successfully executing tests with the system version (2.0.0). When I then switch to 2.2.1 via RVM, the rake_test_loader fails with a LoadError. Initially, I thought there were 3 possible problems that cause this issue: 1) different version of Ruby in use 2) RVM environment is causing a problem 3) there is a problem with RVM and Rake However, I have managed to rule out 2 and 3 (if I use the previous stable version of Ruby, v2.1.5 as listed on the ruby site, then the problem goes away). I raised a stackoverflow question about this to see if anyone knows about this, but so far no luck; see the following link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29490409/why-does-rake-test-loader-rb-fail-loaderror-when-tests-run-in-rake-under-rvm-r My test project is structured as a standard Ruby gem and the Rake file with which a launch the rake test task is: `($LOAD_PATH << File.expand_path("../lib", __FILE__)).uniq! require 'rake/testtask' require 'rdoc/task' require 'rubygems/package_task' Rake::TestTask.new('test') do |t| t.pattern = 'test/**/*tests.rb' t.warning = true end task "default" => ["test"]` I displayed the $LOAD_PATH when the tests are run under system ruby version 2.0.0 and RVM ruby version 2.2.1 $LOAD_PATH when tests fail under RVM ruby version 2.2.1: "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/x86_64-darwin14", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.2.0", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.2.0/x86_64-darwin14", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/2.2.0", "/Users/Sancho/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/2.2.0/x86_64-darwin14", "/Users/Sancho/dev/git/joy/lib" $LOAD_PATH when tests pass under 2.0.0: "/Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0", "/Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin13", "/Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/universal-darwin13", "/Library/Ruby/Site", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.0.0", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin13", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.0.0/universal-darwin13", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/x86_64-darwin13", "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/universal-darwin13", "/Users/Sancho/dev/git/joy/lib" The root of the project is /Users/Sancho/dev/git/joy/ Tests are located at /Users/Sancho/dev/git/joy/test/.../*_tests.rb Code under test located at /Users/Sancho/dev/git/joy/lib/joy/.../*.rb I've tested the same project against various versions of ruby (2.0.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.5) and the only version that has a problem is version 2.2.1.
