Thanks Luis.  I did some reading on Sinatra/rack-testing plus Ruby 1.9.2 
upgrade.  I was really trying to get tests to work in my Sinatra 
application.  I was successful in being able to run the tests.  Here is 
how:

I have a file called sharpener.rb in my project base directory.  I 
created a test directory and a file called test_shortener.rb in it. 
Here is a snippet of require statements in it:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'test/unit'
require 'rack/test'

require File.join(Dir.pwd, 'shortener')

ENV['RACK_ENV'] = 'test'

class TestShortener < Test::Unit::TestCase

   ....

end

Note that I am running the tests from the base directory as follows:

ruby test/test_shortener.rb

It works fine.

I am curious though.  How is including the current directory in the path 
a security risk?

Appreciate your time.

Bharat
