Some specs rely on being run all at once so the constants defined in spec_helper.rb are available everywhere, but may not have the explicit require "spec_helper" line. The most concise thing to do is probably to add an .rspec with a --require spec_helper line. Alternatively we could just add the missing requires but why not just assume all the specs should have the helper available?
