Hello Friends!

I have been trying to test email using Cucumber and Email-Spec.  
I have put this statement “require ‘email\_spec/cucumber’” in  
support/env.rb file  
and I am getting this error:  
“Using the default profile…  
uninitialized constant EmailSpec (NameError)”

I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

Please help!!!

Thanks a lot!!!

You need to add “require ‘email\_spec’” before the “require  
‘email\_spec/cucumber’”.

Also, for future cucumber related questions please use the cucumber  
mailing list:
