After further looking at the code, I see that the module 'require' is intentionally inside an if, so that it will only get loaded as needed. If I explicitly require file containing the module in the spec.rb file, then it works. I suppose the require in the code I'm testing will only have an effect when it's not present in the calling code. Still puzzled why I could call the module before without getting a syntax error. Thanks so much for your help.
