Question: I'm trying to build some unit tests for testing my Rails helpers, but I can never remember how to access them. Annoying. Suggestions?

Answer: 
You can do the same in RSpec as:

```
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'

describe FoosHelper do

  it "should do something" do
    helper.some_helper_method.should == @something
  end

end

```
I just posted this answer on another thread asking the same question. I did the following in my project.

```
require_relative '../../app/helpers/import_helper'

```
