Rails - Dec 2010 - In Test/Unit Dir.glob is Rails root but to require a file must assume "Rails_root/test/"

I am wondering why this is: In Test/Unit I am iterating a directory so that
I can require each of the files in the directory.

When I call Dir.glob, the root is the Rails_root, however when I iterate the
files I get an error if I use Rails root and must begin the included
file''s
path from within the test directory.

This:

integration/helpers/file.rb

And not

test/integration/helpers/file.rb

I assume this is due somehow to Test/Unit running and having its own assumed
root directory in "test/" and not Rails root.

So is there a prettier method of doing this"

Dir.glob("test/integration/helpers/*.rb").each do |helper_file|
      require helper_file.gsub(/test\//, '''')  # for some
reason the Dir.glob
starts at rails root but when requiring, it starts within test/*
    end

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
