Hi,

did anybody get ‘fixture scenario builder’ ([http://errtheblog.com/post/](http://errtheblog.com/post/)  
7708) to work with rspec?  
I am getting the following error:

…/plugins/fixture\_scenarios\_builder/lib/scenario\_builder.rb:8:in  
`scenario': undefined method `scenario’ for main (NoMethodError)

I haven’t used that, but you might be interested in my test\_exemplars  
plugin [1] that solves that problem a bit differently.

I’ve got the fixture to load with scenario\_with\_builder() in rspec’s  
describe block directly instead of scenario(). But it doesn’t work w/  
nested fixture nor any other scenarios. So, it only works for ONE  
scenario. Which defeats the purpose of using fixture scenario. I’m  
looking into this now. If anyone got it working, please share!
