At the top of your script do this:

require 'rubygems'   require 'active_support'

And if you need to specify a particular version:

require 'rubygems' gem 'activesupport', '>=1.4' require 'active_support'

Note that the name of the gem has no '_' (I beat my head on that one a few weeks ago). The 'gem' method sets up the load path for a version of the gem that meets the requested restriction.

Please can anyone explain why this works in rails but not in irb ?

require 'active_support'

=> true

Time.now.beginning_of_day

NoMethodError: undefined method `beginning_of_day' for Fri Oct 29 14:05:28 +1300 2010:Time   from (irb):2

Thanks Ben

Solved now,

require 'active_support/all'

=> true

Time.now.beginning_of_day

=> Mon Nov 01 00:00:00 1300 2010
