How to include Rails Helpers on RSpec
I normally include this code to require everything under my spec/support
subdirectory once the Rails stack is available:
Spork.prefork do
# ...
Dir[Rails.root.join('spec', 'support', '**', '*.rb')].each { |f| require f }
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include MyCustomHelper
# ...
end
end
Note that this will include MyCustomHelper
in all example types (controllers, models, views, helpers, etc.). You can narrow that down by passing a :type
parameter:
config.include MyControllerHelper, :type => :controller
Include the Module you need directly in the spec file:
include PostsHelper
