How to make a class visible for RSpec test file?

I have model Player, which lies in app/models:

class Player < ApplicationRecord
  ...
end

I'm using gem rspec-rails and I have file with a test that determines if player is successfully created, which lies in test/models:

require 'rspec'

require_relative '../../app/models/player.rb'

RSpec.describe 'Player' do           
  it 'saves new player' do
    expect(Player.new.save).to eq true
  end
end

I'm getting error NameError: uninitialized constant ApplicationRecord. This is probably because test classes don't see model classes. How to make them visible and avoid error, making possible to test creation of new player?

Add require 'rails_helper' to your spec at the top of the file. You can remove all other "requires".
