Rails - Feb 2011 - rails 3 initialize module, running cucumber

I have this in my environment file, I get "The error occurred while 
evaluating nil.[] (NoMethodError)" on the  S3Config.key= line  when running
cucumber.  Why is it not loading up the module when running cucumber?

module S3Config
  mattr_accessor :key
  mattr_accessor :sec
end

class ActiveRecord::Base
  include S3Config
  extend DynamicMethods
end

S3Config.key = AppConfig[''access_key_id'']
S3Config.sec = AppConfig[''secret_access_key'']
ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host]=AppConfig[''base_url'']
