[rspec-users] using rspec in a non-rails environment
My folder structure is as follows: /myapp/ /myapp/lib/class1.rb /myapp/rspec/spec_helper.rb /myapp/rspec/lib/class1_spec.rb My spec_helper has: require 'rubygems' require 'rspec' RSpec.configure do |config| end My class1_spec.rb has: require 'spec_helper' require '../../lib/class1' describe Class1 do it should do something end How do I require my class1 correct, when I run: rspec spec/lib/class1_spec.rb I am getting: 1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- ../../lib/class1.rb (LoadError) Also, in a non-rails app, what kind of things do you put in the spec_helper normally? any popular config settings that I should know about? thanks! ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users

Re: [rspec-users] using rspec in a non-rails environment
ok have to lookup what rspec/autorun does as oppose to just 'require rspec' thanks, it is now working :) feels good! I've always been tied to rails, seems like I was spoiled and not sure how to do basic things in ruby On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 1:42 PM, David Chelimsky dchelim...@gmail.comwrote: On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 12:26 PM, S Ahmed sahmed1...@gmail.com wrote: My folder structure is as follows: /myapp/ /myapp/lib/class1.rb /myapp/rspec/spec_helper.rb /myapp/rspec/lib/class1_spec.rb My spec_helper has: require 'rubygems' ^^ If you've installed rspec as a gem and you're running the rspec command, you don't need to require 'rubygems'. ^^ require 'rspec' ^^ This should be 'rspec/autorun'. ^^ RSpec.configure do |config| end This ^^ is not necessary unless you're using it My class1_spec.rb has: require 'spec_helper' require '../../lib/class1' describe Class1 do it should do something end How do I require my class1 correct, when I run: rspec spec/lib/class1_spec.rb I am getting: 1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- ../../lib/class1.rb (LoadError) RSpec adds 'lib' to the LOAD_PATH, so you can just `require class1`, but it's conventional to do this in spec_helper.rb instead.
