Thank you, jemminger. That works for me now. However, I've got another issue. I have an my_parse.rb file to parse an xml file. The directory for these files is lib/myfiles/my_parse.rb, and lib/myfiles/xml/aa.xml. And also I have a test file in test/unit/my_parse_test.rb. The error message is: Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - xml/aa.xml when I put the path to the aa.xml flie like this - xml/aa.xml in my_parse_test.rb. But, it is OK if the aa.xml is in the same dir as my_parse.rb is with the path - aa.xml. So, what is the right path to the aa.xml in my_parse.rb if I put aa.xml file in xml/aa.xml? (like this: lib/myfiles/my_parse.rb, and lib/myfiles/xml/aa.xml)
