Note that in some cases, you might have to add some
`require_dependency 'foo'`
in your file under test since Rails autoloading is not available in these cases.
`fast_spec_helper`
also support autoloading classes that are located inside the
`lib/`
directory. It means that as long as your class / module is using only
code from the
`lib/`
directory you will not need to explicitly load any
dependencies.
`fast_spec_helper`
also loads all ActiveSupport extensions,
including core extensions that are commonly used in the Rails environment.
This shouldn't be a problem since explicitely listing dependencies should be
considered a good practice anyway.
Note that in some cases, you might still have to load some dependencies using
`require_dependency`
in your
`*_spec.rb`
file, like when a code is using gems.
For example, if you want to test your code that is calling the
`Gitlab::UntrustedRegexp`
class, which under the hood uses
`re2`
library, you
should be able to define a test using follow code snippet.
```
ruby
require
'fast_spec_helper'
require_dependency
're2'
describe
Gitlab
::
MyModule
::
MyClass
do
# ...
end
```
It takes around one second to load tests that are using
`fast_spec_helper`
instead of 30+ seconds in case of a regular
`spec_helper`
.
