haha - that's genius..

(I should have known better and just looked myself.)

I would play with the $LOAD_PATH in your spec_helper or whatnot:

# spec_helper.rb
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "../lib"))

# blah_spec.rb
require "spec_helper" # require in every spec file
require "my_class" # now it's possible to require my_class from lib
dir because of changed $LOAD_PATH

describe MyClass do
it "test, test, test!" do
MyClass.new.should be
end
end

Or, if using really RSpec, then create a spec.opts file into the spec
directory and require it from there:
--require
spec_helper

Then you can remove those require statements from spec files
themselves. Although if you're using some kind of an IDE, then they
might get confused, but i don't mind :)
