Where is open-uri and why it does not work?

Ruby IronRuby
21

Should I also remove ir.exe from System32?

22

I have set up the PATH variable in System Variables to
C:\ironruby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\bin\Debug

But now windows command prompt is not picking up the ir.exe file!

23

I have added the path to System Variables. The name of RUBYLIBS and the
value is c:\ironruby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\bin\debug.

Here is the code:

require ‘libs/System.Windows.Forms’
require ‘libs/System.Drawing’
require ‘open-uri’

And still giving the same issues:

C:\IronRubyProjects\IronRubyTaskListApplication>ir rss_reader_form.rb

C:\IronRubyProjects\IronRubyTaskListApplication>ir rss_reader_form.rb
:0:in `require’: no such file to load – open-uri (LoadError)
from rss_reader_form.rb:3

24

Finally I got it!

I closed the command prompt and ran it again and now everything is
working. Even the open-uri started working.

Thanks for all your help!

The PATH was a good solution to go :slight_smile:

Remove the RUBYLIBS variable, and then change require
‘libs/System.Windows.Forms’ to require ‘System.Windows.Form’. Do the
same for System.Drawing, then let me know how it goes. You shouldn’t
need to set any Ruby environment variables, since ir.exe.config should
set everything up for you right now.

Glad that it worked :slight_smile:
