RSpec not finding my named routes - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm having an inexplicably hard time getting my named routes to work within my rspec tests.
Here's what I'm seeing:
1) Home GET / works!
Failure/Error: get root_path
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `root_path' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1:0x007fe13b0c1538>
# ./spec/requests/home_spec.rb:6:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
2) Home GET / shows products!
Failure/Error: get products_path
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `products_path' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1:0x007fe13b0cdea0>
# ./spec/requests/home_spec.rb:10:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
spec/requests/home_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe "Home" do
describe "GET /" do
it "works!" do
get root_path
response.status.should be(200)
end
it "shows products!" do
get products_path
response.status.should be(200)
end
end
end
spec/spec_helper.rb
# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
require 'spree/core/testing_support/factories'
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.mock_with :rspec
config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false
config.before(:suite) do
# DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end
config.before(:each) do
# DatabaseCleaner.start
end
config.after(:each) do
# DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
config.include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
end
You can see that the test is including spec_helper, and spec_helper is including the routing methods. Here's my rake routes:
bundle exec rake routes
...
root / spree/home#index
products GET /products(.:format) spree/products#index
...
Any idea what could be going on here to prevent the routes from working? Thanks!

If you're wanting to reference the route of an engine from tests within an dummy application, or just an application itself, then you'll need to prefix the routing helpers with the engine name. For Spree, you would reference the routes like:
spree.products_path
Similarly, if you want to reference routes of the main application from an engine, you'll need to use main_app:
main_app.root_path
