Hi all,  
I’m getting this error. Does anyone have any idead what’s going on? I  
searched around and many people are having this error in controllers,  
but this one is in ht helpers directory for me.

Expected C:/work/trunk/stats/app/helpers/notifier.rb to define  
NOTIFIER

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Does notifier.rb define a constant called NOTIFIER ?
