I'm convinced. We'll add an AfterStep hook. Do you want to give a stab
at a patch? Start by writing a feature - see
features/after_block_exceptions.feature for a good example of the
style we like...

Sounds good. I'll give it a whirl tonight.

Thanks for doing that. I have one more favour to ask: Can you show me
an example of a StepDefinition that would cause the file to be
created?

That is a tougher question, because any browser interaction that causes an
HTTP request to the app under test could result in a server error.

Ajax requests can be triggered by javascript, and in various parts of our app, they are triggered by clicking on links, submitting forms, dragging and dropping divs, hovering over a div, waiting for a page load to complete, as a callback from interacting with a 3rd party web service, or waiting for a
setTimeout to execute.

So one way I could tackle it is to add a step to the end of every scenario that says "Then the application should not have issued any responses with 50x status codes", but that would be a) repetitive, and b) not fail until all steps had run, making it harder to track down the step in the test where
the failure occurred.

One way to look at may be that I'm trying to enforce an invariant. Under no circumstances in my test suite is it appropriate for my app to raise a 50x error. In my Rails integration suite, webrat enforces this particular invariant for me, but can't find a good hook in the selenium test stack to
do this, which is why I'm looking at this route.

Cheers,
Luke
