How to I handle loading files with relative path? For example: require ''../spec_helper.rb'' require ''/home/user/myapp/spec/spec_helper.rb'' Thanks!

This is a commonly used convention:
#
# Yes, the double "../" are needed if requiring
"../spec_helper.rb" this way
#
require File.expand_path("../../spec_helper.rb", __FILE__)
If using ruby 1.9, I know there is #require_relative but I''ve never
really
used it yet.

Thanks so much! The require_relative is much cleaner. 1.9 works for me.
