Rspec failing to find the model

[Sjouke Fikse]

I'm trying to create an instance of a class in a spec file, but I'm failing to do this.

These two files exists: 

app/models/street.rb 

spec/models/street_spec.rb 

Within street_spec.rb, I'm trying to create a new instance of the street class, but it doesn't 

know what street is. That's acceptable, but when I add `require 'streets'` and it still fails:

   $ rspec spec/models/street_spec.rb

   /home/sjouke/streetmap/spec/models/street_spec.rb:2:in `require': cannot load such file -- street (LoadError)

Any idea why it wouldn't be loading the file appropriately? 

Also, I'm using using rspec-rails after a suggestion from somebody in IRC.

1. Please, post your street_spec.rb file content. 

2. Did you run rails generate rspec:install ?

[Sjouke Fikse]

Hi Javix, I did run rails generate rspec:install. I forgot to mention that.

Here's the output of the files I mentioned:

$ cat spec/models/street_spec.rb 

require "spec_helper"

require "street"

describe "a street" do

  it "can be created" do

    Street.new

  end

end

$ cat app/models/street.rb 

class Street < ActiveRecord::Base

  attr_accessor :coordinates

end

You should remove the line 'require "street"'.

You should have smth liek that in your street_spec.rb:

require 'spec_helper'

describe Street do 

  describe 'whatever you want' do

      before { @street = Street.new}

     it 'has something to check' do

     end

  end
