Testing drag and drop in ruby

I am trying to test a UI that has the ability to drag and drop. All im looking to do is to drag an element to another element on the page. The code is below.

it 'should drag and drop' do                
    draggable = @driver.find('//*[@id="2"]').first
    droppable = @driver.find('//*[@id="dropmembers4"]').first
    draggable.drag_to(droppable)
    @driver.find('//div[contains(., "Dropped!")]').should_not be_nil    
end

Currently im getting an error: 

Failure/error: draggable = @driver.find('//*[@id="2"]').first
No method error: undefined method 'find' for nil:NilClass

Any help would be great.

Thanks

The @driver variable does not exist, that mean the initialization is not working. Here's the minimal initialization code:

$ [sudo] gem install selenium
$ selenium install

And the code for using it:

require 'selenium'
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:chrome)

And if you're using bundler to define dependencies, you should run:

$ bundle install

And then this code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'selenium'
@driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:chrome)
