title: why is jasmine-node not picking up my helper script?
body: <p>This question is likely based in my lack of previous experience with node.js, but I was hoping jasmine-node would just let me run my jasmine specs from the command line. </p>
  
  <p>TestHelper.js:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var helper_func = function() {
      console.log("IN HELPER FUNC");
  };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my_test.spec.js:</p>
  
  <pre><code>describe ('Example Test', function() {
    it ('should use the helper function', function() {
      helper_func();
      expect(true).toBe(true);
    }); 
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Those are the only two files in the directory. Then, when I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jasmine-node .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get </p>
  
  <pre><code>ReferenceError: helper_func is not defined
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm sure the answer to this is easy, but I didn't find any super-simple intros, or anything obvious on github. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
