rspec users - Feb 2008 - how to set up data before story runner steps?

Hi

     I''m using story runner of RSpec now. What I''m trying to
do is
initializing the @selenium before any steps of one story is executing,
and stop @selenium after any story is finished. just as @BeforeClass
and @AfterClass in jUnit
     Any suggestions on this?

     Thanks!!!


Bei

here is my code for
STEPS:

     steps_for(:search) do

    Given("user could access search page") do
        @google_page = GooglePage.new(@selenium)
        @google_page.open;
    end

    Given("user enter search test: $search_text") do |$search_text|
        @google_page.search_text=$search_text
    end

    When("do search") do
        @search_result_page =  @google_page.search
    end

    Then("show search result") do
        @search_result_page.should_not == nil
    end
end


STORY:

  Story: #000
      As A command human
      I want to get information quickly
      So that I could save me time on doing real things

  Scenario: could search
      Given user could access search page
      And user enter search test: asdfasdfasdfas
      When do search
      Then show search result


GLUE:
  with_steps_for :search do
      run ''stories/000.story''
  end

There is no way built in to handle this yet. Is anybody doing this yet?

If not, you''ll have to experiment. If you''re interested, I
think the
way to handle it is to register a listener like this:

Spec::Story::Runner.register_listener(listener)

The listener object should receive messages like run_started,
story_started, scenario_started and story_ended, run_ended and
scenario_failed or scenario_pending.

Be sure to implement method_missing to ignore everything else.

Good luck, and let us know what works.

Cheers,
David

Hi,

my helpers/selenium_helper.rb file look like that:


# Alias some more ruby-like methods on SeleniumDriver, to make it play
# better with rspec matchers.
module Selenium
  class SeleniumDriver
    alias_method :original_method_missing, :method_missing
    def method_missing method_name, *args
      if method_name.to_s =~ /^has_.*\?$/
        real_method = method_name.to_s.sub /has_(.*)\?$/,
''is_\1''
        if respond_to? real_method
          return send(real_method, args)
        end
      elsif respond_to?(real_method = "get_" + method_name.to_s)
        return send(real_method)
      end
      return original_method_missing(method_name, args)
    end
  end
end

$selenium_driver = nil unless $selenium_driver
$selenium_listener_added = false unless $selenium_listener_added
 
module StoryHelper 
  def selenium
    $selenium_driver
  end
 
  Spec::Story::World.send :include, self
end

class SeleniumListener
  include Singleton
  def scenario_started(*args)
    $selenium_driver =
Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new(''localhost'', 4444,
                                             ''*firefox'',
                                            
''http://localhost:3000/'',
15000)
    $selenium_driver.start
  end

  def scenario_succeeded(*args)
    $selenium_driver.stop
    $selenium_driver = nil
  end

  alias :scenario_pending :scenario_succeeded
  alias :scenario_failed :scenario_succeeded
end

unless $selenium_listener_added
 
Spec::Story::Runner.scenario_runner.add_listener(SeleniumListener.instance)
  $selenium_listener_added = true
end


Best wishes,

Hello,

i written a rails plugin for driving Selenium from
the RSpec Story Runner:

http://github.com/tmak/rspec-rails-selenium-story


Now, i want to migrate my plugin to cucumber.


My question:
I used the scenario_failed method of the Story Listener to make 
screenshots of failing story scenarios.
How can i do that with cucumber?


Thanks,
Thomas
