Ruby cannot find gem in gemset

Question

I apologize if I've missed something obvious. I am new to Ruby.

My overall goal is to add functionality to an existing script, which is using rvm and gemsets.

When I install new gems to a particular gemset, the requires in my scripts fail to find them. I am using the following rvm instance:

$ rvm current jruby-1.6.7.2@preflight

To confirm:

$ which ruby /Users/user/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.6.7.2/bin/ruby $ ruby -v jruby 1.6.7.2 (ruby-1.8.7-p357) (2012-05-01 26e08ba) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.8.0_11) [darwin-x86_64-java]

I specified the gemset into I install a given gem (let's say xml-simple).

$ rvm @preflight do gem install xml-simple Successfully installed xml-simple-1.1.5 1 gem installed

To verify the gem installed correctly:

$ gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** ... xml-simple (1.1.5) ...

We see the module I installed there.

Following the xml-simple instructions to include the module, I run this script:

require 'xmlsimple'

which, results in:

$ ruby testver.rb LoadError: no such file to load -- xmlsimple require at org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1033 (root) at testver.rb:1

One suspicious thing I have seen is that printing out RUBY_VERSION and $LOAD_PATH shows me this:

$ ruby testver.rb 1.8.7 /Users/user/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.6.7.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8 /Users/user/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.6.7.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/shared /Users/user/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.6.7.2/lib/ruby/1.8 .

Just as a finished this post, I encountered a solution from another post: stackoverflow.com/a/4209569/1258020. Adding equire "rubygems" worked. Writing out the question at least allowed me to focus in on the problem point. Sort of rubber-duckying. — vincent

Adding require "rubygems" is required prior to Ruby version 1.9.2, per this stackoverflow answer. This resolved my issue.
