From: Bev Bev on 27 May 2010 16:21 I am having a permissions problem which no one else on the developement team is having and no one knows how to fix it. I had talked with the IT department and they checked a couple of things and said it was not a standard Windows NTFS permissions error and they felt that it was an application permission issue. I am new to Ruby, so I do not know much. I have a dirctory c:\Workspaces\Watir Testing\bin which has the script login.rb. I have another directory c:\Workspaces\Watir Testing\test_scripts which has the script CustomerSetup1.rb. The CustomerSetup1.rb script is the one I need to run to run the test and it calls the login.rb script. When I go to the directory c:\Workspaces\Watir Testing\test_scripts and type "c:\Ruby\bin\ruby -l ..\bin CustomerSetup1.rb", I get the following message "c:\Ruby\bin\ruby: Permission denied -- ../bin (LoadError)". I don't understand why I don't have permissions to access a directory on my PC. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue? Thanks, Bev -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is just a shot in the dark, but could it be because you have a space in your directory names? That can cause problems for all kinds of things on windows. Try taking the space out and see if it makes any difference.

I had problems with UAC not allowing a program to make changes to files and finally just turned it off rather than try to figure out exactly what it needed.

I tried removing the space and that didn't help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
