It sounds like the Watir::RSpec::Helper has not been added to the example groups.
Did you run the "watir-rspec install" (see last step of installation)? The install augments your project's spec_helper file to include this module and other related parts. In terms of the debugging question, I do not have much advice. With undefined method errors, I suppose you need to figure out where the method is supposed to be defined and then figure out why it isn't being included. If you have some familiarity with RSpec and Watir, you might be able to guess that "goto" method is being done by Watir-RSpec. You can dig through the code to figure out where it defines the "goto" method - though this one is a bit difficult since it is implemented using method_missing in the Watir::RSpec::Helper. From there, you would look at why it is not being included in your RSpec config, which might lead you to noticing your spec_helper hasn't been updated.
