Paperclip using rspec

Question

I have a Rails 3.2 application in which I use paperclip to upload and store file attachments. This works great in itself, but I want to test it using rspec.

Now, the documentation provides some pretty nifty shoulda matchers to do just that. However, when I try to run them, it says my configuration in the spec helper is wrong:

uninitialized constant Paperclip::Shoulda (NameError)

I have the following in my spec helper:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Paperclip::Shoulda::Matchers
end

And this is in my Gemfile:

group :development, :test do
  gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.0"
  gem "shoulda-matchers"
end

I am not sure what I am missing here?

Answer 1

I found out what the problem was. I had require 'paperclip/matchers' behind the shoulda matchers, but instead I first need to require the paper clip matchers, and only afterwards include the shoulda matchers.
