Hi,
I have some helper methods such as:
def mock_omniauth
OmniAuth.config.test_mode = true
OmniAuth.config.mock_auth[:facebook] = facebook_user
end
def facebook_user
@facebook_user ||=
HashWithIndifferentAccess.new(YAML.load(File.read("#{Rails.root}/test/fixtures/fb_user.yml")))
end
that I want to use in both cucumber step definitions and rspec. Is there a
preferred place to store this code, or is it standard practice to just define
them in a module in config/inititalizers and include that in both cucumber's
env.rb and rspec's spec_helper.rb?
Thanks.

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.
Peace.
