Issue with documentation- is the environment variable set in the in the wrong place in test examples?

Sorry, didn't know where to put this issue and whether I'm just being dense.

Tonight I was trying to add some tests to an existing sinatra app, using the instructions here:

http://www.sinatrarb.com/testing.html

The app uses mongoid, and it was using the "development" environment. After searching around, I found this SO question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9376355/separate-sinatra-apps-test-database-from-development-database

Setting the environment variable BEFORE requiring sinatra (through require the application.rb file in test) fixed my issues.
