Do you have the HOME environment variable set?

=46rom ri File.expand_path:

The given pathname may start with a ``+~+'', which expands to the
process owner's home directory (the environment variable +HOME+ must be
set correctly). ``+~+_user_'' expands to the named user's home directory.=


This is arguably a bug in File.expand_path rather than ZenTest. (On
Windows systems, a fallback to ENV['HOME'] should be ENV['HOMEDRIVE'] +
ENV['HOMEPATH']. Wonder where you report those.
