Sorry, didn’t try it yet. I googled a bit before writing this post but couldn’t find that patch.

I ran into the same problem. It occurred in my Rails unit test when I added an assert_raise clause. Turns out there’s already a patch for it in Ruby bundle for TextMate:

http://www.nabble.com/Patch-for-RubyMate:-'No-such-file-or-directory'-when-backtrace-contains-eval-td21506903.html

So I installed the latest bundle off of trunk and problem solved. Did this work for you?

Stephen,

Can you elaborate on your solution for that annoying test_helper message?

Thanks!
Tom

Thanks so much, been putting up with this when running failing tests for a while, finally today I felt like I had to do something about it.

In case anyone is having trouble with the old

`require’: no such file to load — test_helper (LoadError)

when running tests on the command line should set this environment variable
RUBYLIB=”.:test:$RUBYLIB”

We’ve struggled with the same thing, although the fix above broke for some other spurious reason. Here’s the implementation we ended up with:

def path_to_url_chunk(path)
unless path == “untitled”
prefix = ”
2.times do
begin
file = Pathname.new(prefix + path).realpath.to_s
“url=file://#{e_url(file)}&”
rescue Errno::ENOENT
# Hmm lets try to prefix with project directory
prefix = “#{ENV['TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY']}/”
end
end
else
”
end
end

This worked for me… Thank you very much. Very nice to not have this popup form time to time and then be forced to work from the command line
