Include Rails config_for settings in rspec helper

Is there a way to include the config_for settings in rspec tests? I have the following settings configured in config/initialisers/settings.rb:

SETTINGS = Rails.application.config_for(:settings)

but they aren't autoloaded in rspec and it triggers the following:

 Failure/Error: generator = SETTINGS['my_strategy'].constantize.new(file)

 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `constantize' for nil:NilClass

As it isn't a module or class, I can't include it in the normal way and doing something as:

config.include Rails.application, type: :controller

Is in my opinion, not the proper thing to do.

Solution

  • After some digging I couldn't find a rspec helper which can load the config_for settings. I solved this by doing the following:

    before :all do
  SETTINGS['my_strategy'] = 'StrategyClass'
end

    Which solved the loading of the constant.
