I have some ruby functions I wrote and put in a file ( NumLib.rb) that I want to call from ruby code in Widget.lym.
Both files are in the 'local' directory. For me it is 'C:\Users\dave\KLayout\macros' .
So Widget.lym looks like:
module Widget
include RBA
require 'NumLib'
end
On my machine (Windows 7) the IDE finds NumLib.rb just fine and runs the functions it contains as called upon.
For a colleague running windows 10, we set it up the same way, but the IDE can't seem to find NumLib.rb.
We fixed it by explicitly writing
require 'c:Users\\KLayout\macros\NumLib'
How do we set the default search path that the IDE uses to find required .rb files?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
the usual way to making Ruby find a file next to another is to use:
Matthias
#
fn =ENV['HOME']+"\\Klayout\\klayout_library.gds"
And it will work in all computers
I try always to use the home directory as connection for programs and I use symbolic links to not have all the information in the user directory (external disk or other places in the computer)
