NameError: undefined local variable or method 'magic_test'

Magic Test tries to automatically inject its MagicTest::Support
helper into common test libraries for ease of setup, but there may be cases where we're not doing this properly. This is probably the problem if you're receiving an error like this:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `magic_test' for #<BasicsTest:0x00007f908b374a88>
If that's the case, you can still manually include MagicTest::Support
support manually. How you have to do this will depend on whether you're using Minitest, RSpec, or another test library, but here are some examples of how people have accomplished this:
For Minitest, you can add the following in test/application_system_test_case.rb
:
class ApplicationSystemTestCase < ActionDispatch::SystemTestCase
include MagicTest::Support if ENV["MAGIC_TEST"].present?
end
For RSpec, you can apparently add include MagicTest::Support
in your test file.
