I'm trying to do this to make unit testing a breeze for myself.
The contents of an example script in question are as follows:
irb
require 'random_utils.rb'
a = SuccessChecker.new
Right now this just opens irb. I'd like to be able to run arbitrary code afterward, so that I might make scripts to make my life easier by requiring files, instantiating classes, populating test conditions, etc.

You are executing commands sequentially, so the shell executes irb, waits until irb get closed and executes the next command (in your case require 'random_utils.rb')…
What you want is to provide the script to irb via STDIN
irb <<EOF
require 'random_utils.rb'
a = SuccessChecker.new
EOF
But this will probably not do what you want as irb is for interactive use, you should consider using your normal ruby interpreter instead, e.g:
ruby <<EOF
require 'random_utils.rb'
a = SuccessChecker.new
EOF

I have been using irb to load these files manually and poke at the code to test it interactively, so I think that's what I want to do, though I might change my mind :) Thank you for this. I thought it would be some simple character or something.

@ac7v see i.imgur.com/t6gNQ.png for details, e.g. irb will show return values and echos the commands, that is probably not what you want - there is no real benefit from using irb to run non interactive things.

Aug 8 '12 at 23:25
I suppose I'll just write the testing code in a separate .rb file (for cleanliness). I guess that's the better way of doing it anyway. I consider this an answer. Thank you again.
