Listing 10.25 features/managing_states.feature
Feature: Managing states
In order to change information about a state
As an admin
I want to be able to set a state's name and default status
Background:
Given I have run the seed task
And I am signed in as "admin@ticketee.com"
Scenario: Marking a state as default
Given I am on the homepage
When I follow "Admin"
And I follow "States"
And I follow "Make default" for the "New" state
Then I should see "New is now the default state."
In this scenario you’ve got one new step B, which you need to define for this feature
to run. Let’s run this feature now to get the step definitions for these steps by running
bin/cucumber features/managing_states.feature:
When /^I follow "([^"]*)" for the "([^"]*)" state$/ do |arg1, arg2|
pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
end
You put this step definition inside features/step_definitions/state_steps.rb and work on
getting the first definition to pass for now. This definition is used like this:
And I follow "Make default" for the "New" state
Which is a slightly modified version of the following:
And I follow "Make Default" within "#some_state"
B New step
You’re not using the within variant here directly because you’re not going to be using
a statically set id attribute for the state in the view but rather setting it to something
like state_3 using this code:
(Default)
But you use this step within your custom step. You’re also not using the step When I
follow "Make Default" because this will follow the first Make Default link on the
page, which may or may not be the one that you want. With all of this in mind, you can
redefine your step as follows:
When /^I follow "([^"]*)" for the "([^"]*)" state$/ do |link, name|
state = State.find_by_name!(name)
steps(%Q{When I follow "#{link}" within "#state_#{state.id}"})
end
