be_true rspec not found nameerror

I have a problem with rspec and page object. I have

 cell(:balance_type_tab_element, :id => 'a')

and then later down the line I have

def check_all
  check_navigation_to_and_from_balance_page
  check_printer_friendly_link
end

and then i also have

def check_allocation_by_balance_type
  balance_type_tab?
  puts "found tab"
  puts balance_type_tab_element.visible?
  balance_type_tab_element.visible?.should be_true
end

and

def check_navigation_to_and_from_balance_page
  //some other checks
  check_allocation_by_balance_type
end

then in a steps file

on_page(ParticipantBalanceDetailsPage).check_all

but i keep getting the error NameError: undefined local variable or method `be_true'

I tried googling but no luck so far, can someone help me out please?

The various matcher methods are not automatically available in every context. Consider that when you call be_true, you are sending the be_true message to self. To make all matchers available in every context, RSpec would have to add ALL of the matcher objects to EVERY object in the system, which would be a terrible idea.

To make the matchers available in this context, you simply need to mix RSpec::Matchers in to your class:

class MyPageObject
  include RSpec::Matchers

  def check_allocation_by_balance_type
    balance_type_tab?
    puts "found tab"
    puts balance_type_tab_element.visible?
    balance_type_tab_element.visible?.should be_true
  end
end
