kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file error
cucumber, ruby
Solution
I just encountered the same issue, and I believe it's a problem with bundler. In any case, I solved the problem by running:
bundle update
bundle exec ruby <yourfilename.rb>
Hope this helps!
Problem
I'm using Ruby version 1.9.3 at the moment (although I get the same issue with Ruby 2.0.0). On Windows 7 64-bit. I'm following 'The Cucumber Book' and got stuck at the chapter 7.2 - "Removing Duplication with Transforms". My folder structure is as follows: ``` \cash_withdrawal \cash_withdrawal\Gemfile \cash_withdrawal\Gemfile.lock \cash_withdrawal\features \cash_withdrawal\features\cash-withdrawal.feature \cash_withdrawal\features\step_definitions \cash_withdrawal\features\step_definitions\cash_withdrawal_steps.rb \cash_withdrawal\features\step_definitions\lib \cash_withdrawal\features\step_definitions\lib\nice_bank.rb \cash_withdrawal\features\support \cash_withdrawal\features\support\env.rb \cash_withdrawal\features\support\transforms.rb \cash_withdrawal\features\support\world_extensions.rb ``` In my `cash_withdrawal_steps.rb` file I have: ``` require 'CAPTURE_CASH_AMOUNT' Given /^I have deposited (#{CAPTURE_CASH_AMOUNT}) in my Account$/ do |amount| my_account.deposit(amount) my_account.balance.should eq(amount), "Expected the balance to be #{amount} but it was #{my_account.balance}" end ``` When I run `cucumber` I get: C:\Users\Nikita.Harrison\AutomatedTesting\cash_withdrawal>cucumber cannot load such file -- CAPTURE_CASH_AMOUNT (LoadError) C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `r equire' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `r equire' C:/Users/Nikita.Harrison/AutomatedTesting/cash_withdrawal/features/step_definiti ons/cash_withdrawal_steps.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-1.3.10/lib/cucumber/rb_support/rb_l anguage.rb:122:in`load' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-1.3.10/lib/cucumber/rb_support/rb_l anguage.rb:122:in `load_code_file' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-1.3.10/lib/cucumber/runtime/support _code.rb:180:in`load_file' C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-1.3.10/lib/cucumber/runtime/support _code.rb:83:in `block in load_files!'
