This is rails3

I wrote a fairly complex view helper for one of my model and there is  
apparently a syntax error since the model did not load. I can’t find  
anywhere where the error would be logged.

In the console I pasted the method definitions, but it does not report  
errors unless called. The methods that do not rely on ActionView will  
work, but if I try to access ActionView calls, it is apparently not  
loaded since it will baulk at calls like “select\_tag”

From the console if I enter:

QuestionsHelper it returns =\> object (good helper)

AssessmentsHelper returns uninitialized constant, so it did not load.

Any ideas on how to debug this?

Forget it

I not only had the module name misspelled, I forgot the \_helper in the  
file name when I rewrote the helper.
