Rick,
If you haven't already you should also check out webrat. It allows you
to easily write steps that allow your stories to speak in terms of
forms.. which is what my customers relate to the best.
Along the lines of what Pat was saying.. I still use steps like the one
he suggested but I usually only use them in Give clauses... so stuff like:
Given "$resource exists in the system with $params" do |resource, params|
resource.gsub!(" ","_")
instance_variable_set("@#{resource}",resource.classify.constantize.create!(params.to_hash_from_story))
end
class String
# Coverts a string found in the steps into a hash. Example:
# ISBN: '0967539854' and comment: 'I love this book' and rating: '4'
# => {"rating"=>"4", "isbn"=>"0967539854", "comment"=>"I love this
book"}
def to_hash_from_story
self.split(" and ").inject({}){ |hash_so_far, key_value|
key, value =
key_value.split(":").map{ |v| v.strip}
hash_so_far.merge(key.downcase => value.gsub("'",""))
}
end
end
