how to require gem or a source file ? about opal-rspec

[wied03]

Are you using the Rake task? Did you call Opal.use_gem from the Rakefile?
It sounds like a load path issue. I use jquery in my tests all the time.

If you're using Rails but not using opal-rails, then you'd do something like this (I have 2 spec directories, thus the shared reference):

Opal::RSpec::RakeTask.new('opal:spec' => :environment) do |server, task|
  app = Rails.application
  task.files = FileList[
      app.root.join('spec/javascripts/**/*_spec{,.js}.{rb,opal}'),
      app.root.join('spec/shared/**/*_spec{,.js}.{rb,opal}')
  ]
  task.default_path = 'spec/javascripts'
  app.assets.paths.each { |p| server.append_path p }
  %w(spec/javascripts spec/shared).each { |p| server.append_path p }
end

The only magic here is the app.assets line, which takes the Rails sprockets load paths (already populated via Bundle.require to force each GEM to add itself to the load path and my opal.rb initializer, which adds the Opal load paths to sprockets/Rails).

I'm not sure what the latest is with opal-rails since I've been working on other stuff.

thanks - I did not try your suggestion, instead I ended up doing this:

# in reactive-ruby.rb 
...
Opal.append_path File.expand_path('../sources/', __FILE__).untaint

Once I did this everything got better
