If I have a step matcher defined as so:
Given "a user named $username" do |username|
....

Is there a way to call it from another step? For example:
Given "a user named $username with a blog post |username|
given_a_user_named(username) # calls existing step code
# create a blog post
end
Cheers,
I'm not sure if you can call a step directly... I would be very
interested in that if you can.. But AFAIK the only option is to extract
it into a helper method an place it in Spec::Story::World.
So you would have:
Given "a user named $username" do |username|
create_user_with_name(user_name)
end
Given "a user named $username with a blog post |username|
create_user_with_name(user_name)
# create a blog post
end
I typically do things with instance variables though. So the "Given a user named
$username" step would set an instance variable named @username.
Then I would have a step that reads "$username has a blog post" that would get
the instance variable name and it would build a post off of that user. The story would
the read like:
Given a user named Joey
And Joey has a blog post
