rspec users - Mar 2011 - Can't put shared example group in its own file

Any ideas? All I''d like to do is have two specs in different files use
the
same shared example group. I saw a similar thread about autotest, but I am 
not using that.

Don''t name this file ^^ ending with _spec.rb - that is the default
pattern that RSpec looks for specs in, so it''s getting loaded as a
spec. Name it something like shared_examples_for_stuff.rb.

I''m sure David already replied about this - don''t name your
shared examples group *_spec.rb otherwise RSpec will load it and try to run it
as a spec file.
