I have two files person.rb and contact_info.rb and the person.rb file contains a class, and the contact_info.rb file contains a module. When i do load 'person.rb' in irb this works fine when load 'contact_info.rb' is at the top of this file.
When I switch this to require 'contact_info.rb' at the top of the person.rb file, and in irb do require 'person.rb' I get an error (i've included the error at the bottom of this text and it's using a completely different file path.
I've googled some solutions such as using './person.rb' and require_relative 'person' but these don't work either.
I've simplified the code within files to make things easier.
Any help would be awesome.
CODE IN THE person.rb FILE
require 'contact_info.rb'
class Person
include ContactInfo
end
CODE IN THE contact_info.rb FILE
module ContactInfo
#some code
end
ERROR MESSAGE THAT I'M GETTING - when I type in require 'person.rb' in irb.
**note - when i drag the file into the command line the file path is /Volumes/New\ Passport/All\ Creative/Ruby/module_folder_tut/person.rb
