Hey guys, just poppin in to ask if anyone knows when stories will be somewhat stable? We''re starting to use integration tests at work, we''re already using rspec, and I''d like to avoid integration tests if possible. Thanks, Nate "fowlduck" Sutton

Stories haven''t even been released yet :) Realistically, names like Story, Scenario, Given, When and Then are not likely to change. Methods like steps_for and with_steps_for *might* change, but if they do it''ll be a simple search and replace for you. So, while I can guarantee you that there WILL be changes, I can tell you that I''m using stories (and I''m not alone) and I expect that whatever churn is in store should be relatively benign. That said - I''ll reiterate - it is not even released yet. Use at your own risk. Cheers, David
Aw, you both cautioned me and calmed me, I don''t know what to think now! ;) Seriously though, I''d love to use it over integration tests. When is the next release? Are you on a scheduled release cycle?

When is > the next release? Are you on a scheduled release cycle?We''re hoping to have a release out within a week or two. We''d like to wait for Rails 2.0.0 to be released and then close any holes (we''re passing against 2.0.0-RC1 and edge, so that shouldn''t be a big deal). We''ve also been doing quite a bit of refactoring as you''re likely aware - and there are a few regressions that have occurred that we''re trying to resolve before we release. So it''ll be soon. But probably not this week. Cheers, David

Woo, nice docs in there, ha! ;) How is it intended to be used? Thanks, Nate On Nov 14, 2007, at 6:26 PM, John W.
