I'm not sure what version it was, but Rails helper modules are no longer
included implicitly in helper specs. [1]
You should rewrite your spec as:
describe PropertiesHelper do
describe '#format_utilities' do
it 'should format a utilities value' do
helper.format_utilities(nil).should == 'Unknown'
end
end
end
or
describe PropertiesHelper do
include PropertiesHelper
describe '#format_utilities' do
it 'should format a utilities value' do
format_utilities(nil).should == 'Unknown'
end
end
end
