Require interprets paths relative to those folders on the load path.
The root of the rails app isn't on the load path, but test is, hence
require 'test/integration/helpers/file' doesn't work, but require
'integration/helpers/file' does.
If you added that folder to load_paths & eager_load_paths then rails
would require those files for you
