Why am I unable to load my file in Ruby?

Edited for clarity

From

puts $LOAD_PATH

I am able to see my load paths. I do

$LOAD_PATH << 'C:/rubyfiles'

to add ruby files to my search path. I then put some random custom rb file in there and do

require 'ya'

LoadError - No such file to load

What am I doing wrong?

You can put your custom .rb files in lib/ folder inside your rails project

p/s: assuming it's a rails project

Guess I trusted too much in someone elses code which had an error. Still somewhat new with ruby thus I mistook the loaderror for issues with the main file without bothering to look in the code itself. Thanks anyways.

Try doing

puts "$LOAD_PATH is #{$LOAD_PATH.inspect}"
puts "Files in rubyfiles is #{Dir.entries('C:/rubyfiles').inspect}"

and add the output of that debugging to the question.

When you want to load the file name with xxx.rb, you have load xxx.rb, not load xxx. This is one difference from require. Are you clear with that?
