Why do I keep getting an error at this point in the test driven development??????

This is how my bank_account_spec.rb file looks like... require 'minitest/autorun' require 'minitest/spec'

$:.unshift File.expand_path(File.dirname(FILE) + '/..')

require 'lib/bank_account'

describe BankAccount do

end

This is what I get on cmd... syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting end-of-input Help anyone???

I think you have a slight misspelling here. Try changing:

__FILE

To:

__FILE__

Hey, Thanks for your response. I tried what you suggested but I still get the same error. I also tried just require 'minitest/autorun' require 'minitest/spec' ...am not sure what that has to do with anything, but I still get the same error. Any suggestions?

Can you drop a link to your code on GitHub? That will make it easier to troubleshoot.
