Hi:
I’m trying to find out why is it when I change the Rails directory
structure like so (app/controllers/physical/) does RSpec no longer
work? I moved all my controller files to app/controllers/physical.
Everything works fine when I run the server. But now I can’t test
anymore: I get this message when I type the script/spec command:

I made sure to add the custom directories in the config/environment.rb
file:
Adding load paths for my custom directories
config.load_paths += %W(
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/logical
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/physical
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/service
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/physical
#{RAILS_ROOT}/spec/controllers/physical
#{RAILS_ROOT}/spec/views/physical
)
This however doesn’t work. How can I make RSpec aware that the Rails
app directory structure has changed?
