In one of my features I have to check to see if a file is created by an
external script and then determine if that file contains specific
information.  So, I ended up with these step definitions:


When /currency exchange rate transfer file should contain rates/ do
 found = false
 fx_code = 'USD'
 File.open(FOREX_XFR_FN).each do |line|
   found = true if
/.*fx_target#{fx_code}.*fx_rate(\d+\.\d{4}).*/.match(line)
   break if found
 end
 fail(ArgumentError, "Exchange Rate not found for #{fx_code}") if not
found
end

When /currency exchange rate transfer file should exist/ do
 File.open(FOREX_XFR_FN)
end


These work well enough.  What I want to know if this is considered a
normal style for testing this sort of specification and if not then what
is?

Slightly off-topic, but it seems a bit weird to have the word 'should' in a When step to me. Are these really Then steps?
