Hi,
How can I have a common set of steps that all my stories share?
i.e. My stories often start out looking like this:
Given a user Joe
Given a user Jordan
then:
Given("a user $username") do |username|
@users ||= {}
@user_sessions ||= {}
@users[username] = create_user(:username => username)
@user_sessions[username] = login_as(@users[username])
end
I want to share that Given with all my stories. Or is there a better
way to do it?
Joe

It simply follows the same convention as the controllers for file names, and in each file we put all steps that are relevant to a given controller. In the run file we simply run stories with_steps_for all of them. Try it out, I think you''ll like it.

I prefer the first one.I ended up creating RAILS_ROOT/stories/stories and RAILS_ROOT/stories/ steps I don''t like the duplication of "stories" but I prefer it to (apparently) having a group of stories called "steps". I also have a folder called RAILS_ROOT/stories/story_support where I''ve dumped selenium extensions etc. But arguably I should pull that out into vendor/gems or something. Ashley
