Hi,
I'm posting this stack trace again because it keeps popping up,
seemingly as the 'default error' when something is wrong with my story
code; for instance, I got it when I referenced a variable in my
'Given' that I had forgotten to pass into the block.
Now I'm getting it when I attempt to post to a login action:
And 'user is logged in as', 'jhughes' do |login|
post '/login', :login => login, :password => 'secret'
end
#post calls reset!, leading to the errors on the top of the stack below.
This is still happening after updating to the latest rspec trunk about
5 minutes ago. Rails version is 1.2.3.
I'm sure this is something wrong with my code/setup, but I thought I'd
bring it up again as it seems that StoryRunner should probably die
with a more informative error when something's wrong.
thanks,
James
