The actual implementation of how a Scenario is defined as pending. The implementation raises a particular type of Error (name eludes me as I'm not steeped in code at the moment, sorry) which the ScenarioRunner rescues and, based on that, then processes the Scenario as pending. Typically, this would simply be a conditional branch in the code and, frankly, seems like an abuse of error handling. Incidentally, I submitted the patch last night to allow Scenarios without blocks to default to pending. Hopefully, Dan (North) likes it. It makes sense that the expectation metaphors through RSpec (and now Story Runner) would behave consistently. This just makes Scenario behave like "it". I have yet to look closely at the implementations of Given/Then/When/ And (forgot about that one, thanks!). Maybe if I get some time this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm spending the rest of tonight and most of tomorrow doing some work for the office... The deeper I get into it, the more that I love this tool....
