Hehe.
It's funny I was after something just like this about a week ago...
Basically it'd be cool if there was an option to get cucumber to
explicitly say (on running) exactly which steps it was doing,
regardless of whether they were in a .feature file, or a _steps.rb file.

I have the following step that I want to re-use in several
scenarios. It looks like this:
When I submit the form
|form_field_id |value|
|billingAddress.email |mickey_mo...@test.com|
|billingAddress.firstName |Mickey|
|billingAddress.lastName |Mouse|
|billingAddress.street1 |249 Cross Road|
|billingAddress.city |Sanford|
|billingAddress.subCountry |ME|
|billingAddress.zipPostalCode|04073|
|billingAddress.country |US|
This step fills out a form using Selenium behind the scenes. It's
been copied into several scenarios and I want to DRY it up. I DRY'd
this up by moving this table data into a fixture file
(mickey_mouse.yml), but then the test becomes less descriptive - the
original scenario step above turned into a one-liner:
When I submit the form for "mickey_mouse"
I think ideally, I would like some kind of "include_step" feature in
cucumber - where we can write partial snippets and include them
wherever I want. When cucumber runs, it can replace the included
step. So I could keep my tests DRY with something like:
When I submit the form
Include 'submit_form_for_mickey_mouse'
but when I run the test, cucumber would spit out the partial
contents in place of the Include to make the test more descriptive.
Is there anything in cucumber that would help me out right now?
What I'm currently looking into is hooking into the formatting and
overriding some rendering - but it feels like a bad hack.
