Backgroundrb devel - Jul 2006 - access to lib?

Do I need to do anything special to access classes in RAILS_ROOT/lib from a
worker?

Maybe:
  require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''../my_lib.rb''

or does it do that automatically like a controller does?

Also if I write a unit test for a worker that is accessing AR, is there anything
special needed to
be done to access fixtures etc to test it?

Thanks

To answer my own question...

Yes you do need to require any library you use with...

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../testlib.rb''

The problem is if you don''t, the task silently fails and you have no
idea why, as the expected error
is lost somewhere (see my other posting).
