rspec & rails 3 cannot find model object
- by Ceilingfish
I'm trying to put some specs around a new rails 3 project I am working on, and my first test doesn't seem to be able to find a model.
I've installed rspec from the command line using:
sudo gem install rspec --pre
and then I put the following in my Gemfile
gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.0.0.beta.1"
But when I run my test I get
./spec/models/world_spec.rb:1: uninitialized constant World (NameError)
rake aborted!
Command /opt/local/bin/ruby -Ilib -Ispec "./spec/models/world_spec.rb" failed

My spec is in spec/models/world_spec.rb, and looks like
describe World, "#hello" do
it "should be invalid" do
World.new.should be_invalid?
end
end
I tried adding a line like require "app/model/world" and require "world" but to no success.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
