I think Scott means to say "this isn't rspec, you need to tell ruby to
load the file using require".
I would keep your spec helpers separate from application code (like
app/ or lib/ directories). I typically put these files in
spec/spec_helpers/ and then in your spec_helper.rb I require all ruby
files like so:
Dir[File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/spec_helpers/**/*.rb"].each do |f|
require f
end
Just a thought,
