I've written a module for my specs that contains a helper method, and

Is there a way to call my helper method from outside of an #it block?
Here's the code:

You want extend instead of include.
Also, if you want to share this among many example groups, you can
do it
in the config block instead of extending it in every single example
group:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.extend AuthSpecHelpers
end
You can even do it for particular example group types if you want:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.extend AuthSpecHelpers, :type => :controller
end

That's convenient. What I've done is add this to the beginning:
require 'spec/shared/auth_spec_helpers'
and add this to the 'config' block:
config.extend AuthSpecHelpers, :type => :controller
of spec_helper.rb . Is that a suitable, or preferred, method of
extending the helper methods in the AuthSpecHelpers module to
controller specs?
Thanks,
Nick
