Run ruby files through script

I want to run all ruby files from specific folder(without using Rake gem)(I'm trying this only for learning purpose). In order to achieve that, I did following:

files = Dir[File.join(Dir.pwd, "tests/*.rb")]

files.each do |file|
  ruby file
end

when I run above script, it throw an error:

run.rb:13:in `block in <main>': undefined method `ruby' for main:Object (NoMethodError)

I've ruby installed on my machine. Please suggest change in my code to work it.

There is no ruby method inside ruby programs.
You're using ruby in your terminal because that's the name of the executable, not the name of a function.

You can use require to do what you're trying to achieve.

files = Dir[File.join(Dir.pwd, "tests/*.rb")]

files.each do |file|
  require file
end
