That is what it sounds like.
Also - once you get this working, there is a general style/approach
issue that you may want to ponder - what you've got there will output
something like this:
Given No products in the system
When I Post to
Then show template should be rendered
And the page should show
And the page should show
And Confirm the product was successfully saved
Obviously, this isn't that helpful as the arguments don't get
rendered. The approach you are taking has not really been recommended
for a while and will not be supported in Cucumber, which is probably
going to be replacing RSpec's Story Runner.
To make that transition easy for you, I'd recommend either moving to
cucumber now, or at least taking the "decoupled step definitions"
approach within Story Runner. Check out http://pastie.org/271244 (with
the steps, story and output) and let me know if it makes sense to you.
HTH,
David
