[rspec-users] Modules will no longer be automatically included in RSpec version 1.1.4

[Lori M Olson]

So, for helper specs, one must now do something like:

describe SomeHelper do

   include SomeHelper

   before(:each) do
   ...
   end

   it "should do something"

end

That seems redundant, but I suppose there's a good reason for it.

Thanks for the help, Pat!

Regards, Lori
