Hi,<br>
<br>
I have just got IronRuby up and running. I'm intending on using it with<br>
Cucumber to test some of the DLLs on our server.<br>
<br>
It all seems to have been set up correctly and I have require'd one of<br>
the DLLs from a location on our server. I have access to the DLL's via a<br>
shared drive, but they are on a different machine to my own. The DLLs<br>
sit on the webserver in the bin directory within the wwwroot directory<br>
of an IIS server. The class interfaces are quite simple, but the DLLs do<br>
a lot of work calling other services, databases etc.<br>
<br>
Now, on my machine, where my test scripts are, if I import one of these<br>
DLLs using<br>
<br>
require 'mydll.dll'<br>
<br>
What does this actually do?<br>
<br>
1) Does it make a copy of the DLL code which I can use but is running<br>
on my machine? Or;<br>
2) Does it reference the DLL on the webserver itself such that I am<br>
running code on the webserver?<br>
<br>
I ask as to test the DLLs effectively they will need to have the same<br>
resources available to them as on the webserver (access to the DB etc).<br>
If the code is running on my machine, then I can't test effectively.<br>
<br>
Any advice appreciated....<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Gordon<br>
