Ruby未初始化的常量BaseHelper（NameError）

Question

Hi I am having a problem which is driving me mad, When my code complies I receive the error

uninitialized constant BaseHelper (NameError)

My code had been working completely fine, up until the point where I added another subclass (AccessoriesMerchandise) my classes look like this

BaseHelper class:

class BaseHelper

def find(locator)
  @browser.find_element locator
end

def type(locator, input)
  find(locator).send_keys input
end

end

Child class:

class FindADealerPage < BaseHelper


#PageObjects
FIND_A_DEALER_SEARCH_FIELD =    {id: "abcd"}
MAP_TAB   =                     {css: 'abcd abcd abcd'}
SERVICE_CHECK_BOX =             {class: "abcd"}
SUBMIT_SEARCH =                 {class: "abcd"}
DEALER_RESULTS_FIRST_DEALER =   {css: "abcd"}

def initialize(browser, wait)
  @browser = browser
  @wait = wait
end

def go_to_find_a_dealer_page
  @browser.get $base_url
end
end

They are both sitting in the same folder! I added this class where my problems started.

class AccessoriesMerchandise < BaseHelper

    #PageObjects
    ACCESSORIES_ACCORDION        = {css: 'div.mesSpecAccordion.accessoriesAccordion'}
    PANEL_CLOSED                 = {css: 'h2.trigger'}
    PANEL_OPENED_ACTIVE          = {css: 'h2.trigger.active'}

    def initialize(browser, wait)
      @browser = browser
      @wait = wait
    end

    def go_to_page
      @browser.get $base_url
    end

    end

This class is also sitting in the same folder. The framework I am using is, Ruby Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber and Rspec Expectations

You need to require it

It should be something like [As you told both are in same folder]

require 'base_helper.rb'

class FindADealerPage < BaseHelper
 #PageObjects
  FIND_A_DEALER_SEARCH_FIELD =    {id: "abcd"}
  MAP_TAB   =                     {css: 'abcd abcd abcd'}
  SERVICE_CHECK_BOX =             {class: "abcd"}
  SUBMIT_SEARCH =                 {class: "abcd"}
  DEALER_RESULTS_FIRST_DEALER =   {css: "abcd"}

  def initialize(browser, wait)
   @browser = browser
   @wait = wait
  end
 ...
end
