[rspec-users] Cucumber: GivenScenario doesn''t seem to work
I''m hardly a story-runner expert, so I may be making a dumb mistake
here... I''m trying to get one scenario to run another as part of its
Given clause. It looks like this:
Scenario: Admin user merges two venues
GivenScenario Admin user views two venues
When I go to "/admin/venues"
Then I should see "Venue1"
Obviously the When / Then bits will get more complicated once I get
this working.
In another .feature file, I have the following scenario (which passes)
Scenario: Admin user views two venues
Given the default city exists
...
The scenario "Admin user merges two venues" fails with this ugly
backtrace:
/Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/cucumber/
lib/cucumber/tree/scenario.rb:45:in `given_scenario_steps'': You have
a nil object when you didn''t expect it! (NoMethodError)
