This doesn’t come up that often so there is no established convention.
I’ve put such code in files in spec/support and included it from the
features directory before. I’m sure the other way round would work just
fine.

config/initializers is about application initialization IMO, so I
wouldn’t put this material there.

I agree with David that config/initializers isn’t the right place as
that would load test-related code into your application in production.
I create a folder in Rails.root for shared code and then require it as
necessary in RSpec and Cucumber. My current directory name is
test_support, which I’m not terribly fond of, but doesn’t really matter
so I haven’t wasted the brain energy to rename it. The benefit of
keeping shared code in a folder external to both tools is I can totally
remove one tool without the other breaking. If you keep the shared code
inside one or the other, you have to be careful about changing whichever
one hosts the shared code.
