How to include lib directory in rspec tests

ruby testing rspec rspec-rails

Manually update your LOAD PATH in spec_helper.rb before calling require should do the trick. Try making this the first line of your spec_helper.rb:

$: << '../lib'

$LOAD_PATH << '../lib'

($: is an alias for $LOAD_PATH)

You can add the following line to your .rspec file in app’s root:-I lib

It’s also possible to include files:-r lib/api.rb

These options are described as follows:

-I PATH
Specify PATH to add to $LOAD_PATH (may be used more than once).
-r, --require PATH
Require a file.

I use the following for my specs...depending on which level your lib is....

require_relative '../../lib/module'
