Answer 1

Things have moved a bit since this thread has been created, I have experienced the uninitialized constant ClassName (NameError) error too using Ruby 2.1, Rails 4.2, rspec-rails 3.3.

I have solved my problems reading the rspec-rails gem documentation :

https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails#model-specs

where it confirms what Swards says about requiring "rails_helper" not "spec_helper" anymore.

Also my model specification looks more like the one from the gem docs

RSpec.describe Url, :type => :model do
    it 'is invalid without first_name', :focus => true do
        client = Client.new
        client.should_not be_valid
    end
end
