rspec users - Jan 2012 - rspec and requests, and folders conventions

I''m trying to run rspec requests, using jruby, and I set the defaults
in a
env.rb file, but it doesn''t seem to be loaded when I run the specs.

My folder setup is:

/spec/requests/
/spec/requests/section/section_spec.rb
/spec/support/env.rb (where I configured selenium as the driver etc.)


I also tried putting support here:

/spec/requests/support/env.rb

When I run rspec, it says I need a rack test or something.

I just want to confirm, will rspec auto load the env.rb with any of the
above folder conventions, or do I have to require it manually somewhere?

No.

Yes. The convention is to do something like this in spec/spec_helper.rb:

  Dir["spec/support/**/*.rb"].each {|f| require f}

This can be found in the spec_helper.rb generated by rspec-rails when you run
"rake rspec:install", but that''s just a
convention/convenience. There''s nothing in RSpec that implicitly loads
files in spec/support.
