Include helper module in Capybara specs

Question

I am writing specs for Capyabara in rails. Here i found article to share common code between the feature specs. link : http://robots.thoughtbot.com/rspec-integration-tests-with-capybara

But when I use its module method 'sign_in' in my rails spec it's giving error "uninitialized constant sign_in'"

describe "GET /" do
  ## include Features::SessionHelpers

  before :each do
    sign_in
  end
     ....

How can I import this helper module in my rspec correctly? thanks.

The helper methods can be included using RSpec.configure.

Assuming you want the helper methods available to all examples, add the following to your spec helper (or at least somewhere outside the example group):

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.include Features::SessionHelpers
end

For more examples, such as only adding the helper methods to specific examples, see the Relish's helper method page.
