Going back to the debate about keeping state between steps, I
found myself
with the mild urge to be able to write this today:
Given there is a user
And the user has 20 friends
Then I should see a thumbnail of each of the users's friends
Which should be a link to the user profile page for that friend
NB: An idiom in this which may be songkick-only but was inspired
by what
we've read on this list, and worth explaining: "the user" as in
"the user
has 20 friends", means User.first in rails. If there's more than
one user
when this step runs, it will flunk, because the English no longer
works.
So anyway, what I was thinking was that it would be nice to be
able to refer
to the last thing I said I should be able to see, and decorate it
with more
specification in a subsequent step or steps.
Obviously, I could roll these into one long Then step, but maybe
this is
more elegant...
Just thinking out loud. I have no idea what the steps code would
look like.
WDYT?
One of the promises of using treetop is the ability to extend the
grammar yourself to include keywords like Which.
Wow. OK I need to check that out.
are uniquely named. See http://gist.github.com/13087.
Other people have experiences, positive or negative, sharing state
across steps with instance variables?
So far, my most remarkable experience is that we had some pretty in-
depth debates in the office about whether it was a good or bad thing!
It's certainly a hot topic.
cheers,
Matt
