I am trying to require some Javascript files for use in my Rails RSpec tests. They are specifically for testing jQuery drag and drop, but I can't seem to find documentation anywhere as to how to require them for testing. I have copied the .js files to spec/javascripts/helpers, but I don't know how to tell RSpec to require them. I tried to require them in my spec_helper.rb: 

require 'spec/javascripts/helpers/jquery.simulate.js'
require 'spec/javascripts/helpers/jquery.simulate.ext.js'
require 'spec/javascripts/helpers/jquery.simulate.drag-n-drop.js'

But that just gives me

cannot load such file -- spec/javascripts/helpers/jquery.simulate.js (LoadError)

  • Thanks, but requiring *.rb files is not my issue, its the *.js files to be loaded in the browser in the test environment only for the purposes of simulating jquery drag and drop Commented Apr 14, 2016 at 8:51

Put test-only Javascript on the page you're testing the same way as you do production Javascript. Move the test support library to your asset directory. Wherever you include the jQuery drag-and-drop library, include the test support library too, but only if the app is in the test environment:

<% if Rails.env.test? %>
   <%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery.simulate.js' %>
   <%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery.simulate.ext.js' %>
   <%= javascript_include_tag 'jquery.simulate.drag-n-drop.js' %>
<% end %>
