The problem is in my files when i try to use any gem say simplecov its throwing error.

My Ruby file TestExample.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'simplecov'
....
rest of the code
.....
enter code here

When i try to run this file it gives me this error

/home/xyz/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p643/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': cannot load such file -- simplecov (LoadError)

Am i missing something here?? Maybe how i am requiring the file is wrong?

Answer 1

Could you try adding this line in your rb?

require 'bundler/setup'

and then run it doing

bundle exec ruby TestExample.rb

I think that should work for you.
