rspec users - Sep 2008 - Including matchers in Cucumber

Hi

Where do you include matcher modules in Cucumber so they don''t pollute
Object?  ie so

   module TwitterMatchers
     class HaveUserStatus
       # ...
     end

     def have_user_status(user, status)
       HaveUserStatus.new(user, status)
     end
   end

is only visible in

   Then "it should push an announcement to Twitter" do
     t = Twitter::Base.new("dummy_user", "secret", :api_host
=>
"localhost", :api_port => 7002)
     t.should have_user_status("followme_ann", "Story title  
#@num_stories")
   end

(Actually I''m not convinced it''s necessary in this case, but
anyway.)

I had a look at the Cucumber examples but none of them use custom  
matchers.

Thanks
Ashley

Cool!

I did it like this in the end, when I figured out what it was doing:

   class MyWorld
     include TwitterMatchers
   end

   World do
     MyWorld.new
   end


Thanks Aslak
