I looked through the mailing list archive but unfortunately my search
terms are too generic (spec and require...).

I am writing ruby code that runs under jruby in an embedded environment. Periodically I will install new code that passes all specs only to have it
fail when it can't find a new class I defined (missing #require).

My spec_helper.rb file does a wildcard search and loads all rb files in
the tree,

Why? Why don't you just have it load lib/your_project_name.rb, which
requires everything else?

I don't know. Is that the right way to do it? The way I am doing it now
mimics how the rspec gem includes all of the rspec files for testing,

It does? What I see is that the spec files all include spec_helper.rb,
which, in turn, adds lib to the path and then requires 'spec'. What
are you thinking of when you say the gem includes all the files for
testing?


<sigh> You are right. That is *not* what rspec does. I know I copied this from some major gem that used rspec but now I can't find it. I retract what I said about rspec including everything (via the spec_helper.rb).

I'll try creating a single file that #requires everything I need and see if that accomplishes all I need. Thanks for the tips.
