I am new to rspec. I followed a few tutorials and set it up to test my
existing rails project. I ran the rspec generators and created
spec/user_spec.rb to test my user.rb model.

The user.rb file starts with:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base


The user_spec.rb file starts with:

describe User do

When I run the test (using rake spec, bundle exec autotest,  rspec
spec/user_spec.rb )
I get the error:

 `const_missing': uninitialized constant User (NameError)

within the following trace:

I tried a sample app (http://relishapp.com/rspec/file/twominutetutorial)
which worked fine. I suspect that the issue is that rspec is not loading
up the files from my rails project. Which configurations do I need to
fix for this to work?

Thanks!
