Helpers not loaded when used in conjunction with Spork

[jackkinsella]

When I run a spork rspec I get undefined local var errors when I reference helper methods in my layout files. Same issue does not happen when steak is run without sproking a process. My spork file:

require 'rubygems'
require 'spork'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'     

Spork.prefork do
  # Loading more in this block will cause your tests to run faster. However, 
  # if you change any configuration or code from libraries loaded here, you'll
  # need to restart spork for it take effect.
  require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
  require 'rspec/rails'

  # Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
  # in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
  Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
end

Spork.each_run do
  # This code will be run each time you run your specs.       
  Dir[Rails.root.join("site/app/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}     
  load "#{Rails.root}/spec/global_test_helper.rb"

  require "#{Rails.root}/spec/factories.rb"
end

Any ideas?

its been bugging me as well, so far i haven't found any good solution but i didn't want not to run spork because of this, so while i don't have a permanent solution, i did this

Spork.each_run do
  class ActionView::Base
    include Gritter::Helpers
  end
end
