rspec users - Oct 2007 - Story Runner: DRYing items used in many stories

The number of stories I have is growing and I''m writing the following
step
long hand in each story.

    Given ''a user named'', ''Andy'',
''Watts'' do |first_name, family_name|
      @email = first_name + ''@test.lan''
      create_user( :first_name => first_name, :family_name => family_name,
:email => @email )
    end

It''s great that this step is DRY for scenarios within a story.
I''m now wondering if it could be DRY across stories also.

Adding it once in stories/all.rb seems natural, but I couldn''t get it
to
work.
Is this possible?  or perhaps a new feature request.


Wow, if reusable scenario steps were defined elsewhere, the whole story file
becomes accessible to non-coders....currently I would remove the guts from
steps in the first scenario before sharing the story file with non-coders.

Thanks again for a great set of tools.
Andy

Just realized step code is DRY across stories within the same file.
(in addition to being DRY across scenarios)

I thought it best to organize stories, each in their own separate file.
My question then is about shared step code for use in many files.

Many Thanks
Andy
