~/.irbrc not executed when starting irb or script/console

bash, irb, rails-console, ruby, ruby-on-rails

Solution

Adding "require 'rubygems'" to my ~/.irbrc file seemed to do the trick.

Problem

Here's what I've tried: ``` 1. gem install awesome_print 2. echo "require 'ap'" >> ~/.irbrc 3. chmod u+x ~/.irbrc 4. script/console 5. ap { :test => 'value' } ``` Result: ``` NameError: undefined local variable or method `ap' for # ```
