rspec users - Oct 2007 - changes to Story Runner steps

Hi all,

The following only affects people who have bravely begun to experiment
with the 2 day-old plain text story runner and definable groups of
steps.

For those who fit that bill, I just committed a few changes that will
require you to make changes to your code.

The StepMatchers class is now the StepGroup class.

The step_matchers methods on PlainTextStoryRunner and StepGroup is now
just steps. So instead of defining a group like this:

# old - no longer supported
matchers = StepMatchers.new do
  step_matchers do |add|
    add.given(...) {...}
  end
end

# new
steps = StepGroup.new do
  steps do |add|
    add.given(...) {...}
  end
end

And actually, I''ve tried ''define'' instead of
''add'' for the block arg
and it speaks pretty nicely:

steps = StepGroup.new do
  steps do |define|
    define.given(...) {...}
  end
end

There will be more changes coming over the next few days. Just a heads up.

Throw your hands in the air, let out a scream, and embrace change. :)

I''m using "interpret", eg (without blocks)

steps = Spec::Story::StepGroup.new do |interpret|
   interpret.given "an engine for dialect: $dialect"
   interpret.when "user gets a connection object"
   interpret.when %q|and executes the query "$query"|
   interpret.then %q|user should get the result
''$expected_result''|
end

I think that flows well too
