How to set up data before story runner steps?

Testing RSpec
1

Hi

 I'm using story runner of RSpec now. What I'm trying to do is

initializing the @selenium before any steps of one story is executing,
and stop @selenium after any story is finished. just as @BeforeClass
and @AfterClass in jUnit
Any suggestions on this?

 Thanks!!!

here is my code for
STEPS:

 steps_for(:search) do

Given("user could access search page") do
    @google_page = GooglePage.new(@selenium)
    @google_page.open;
end

Given("user enter search test: $search_text") do |$search_text|
    @google_page.search_text=$search_text
end

When("do search") do
    @search_result_page =  @google_page.search
end

Then("show search result") do
    @search_result_page.should_not == nil
end

end

STORY:

Story: #000
As A command human
I want to get information quickly
So that I could save me time on doing real things

Scenario: could search
Given user could access search page
And user enter search test: asdfasdfasdfas
When do search
Then show search result

GLUE:
with_steps_for :search do
run ‘stories/000.story’
end

There is no way built in to handle this yet. Is anybody doing this yet?

If not, you’ll have to experiment. If you’re interested, I think the
way to handle it is to register a listener like this:

Spec::Story::Runner.register_listener(listener)

The listener object should receive messages like run_started,
story_started, scenario_started and story_ended, run_ended and
scenario_failed or scenario_pending.

Be sure to implement method_missing to ignore everything else.

Good luck, and let us know what works.

Cheers,
David

Hi,

my helpers/selenium_helper.rb file look like that:

Alias some more ruby-like methods on SeleniumDriver, to make it play

better with rspec matchers.

module Selenium
class SeleniumDriver
alias_method :original_method_missing, :method_missing
def method_missing method_name, args
if method_name.to_s =~ /^has_.?$/
real_method = method_name.to_s.sub /has_(.*)?$/, ‘is_\1’
if respond_to? real_method
return send(real_method, args)
end
elsif respond_to?(real_method = “get_” + method_name.to_s)
return send(real_method)
end
return original_method_missing(method_name, args)
end
end
end

$selenium_driver = nil unless $selenium_driver
$selenium_listener_added = false unless $selenium_listener_added

module StoryHelper
def selenium
$selenium_driver
end

Spec::Story::World.send :include, self
end

class SeleniumListener
include Singleton
def scenario_started(*args)
$selenium_driver = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new(‘localhost’, 4444,
‘*firefox’,
‘http://localhost:3000/’,
15000)
$selenium_driver.start
end

def scenario_succeeded(*args)
$selenium_driver.stop
$selenium_driver = nil
end

alias :scenario_pending :scenario_succeeded
alias :scenario_failed :scenario_succeeded
end

unless $selenium_listener_added

Spec::Story::Runner.scenario_runner.add_listener(SeleniumListener.instance)
$selenium_listener_added = true
end

Best wishes,
Thomas

Hello,

i written a rails plugin for driving Selenium from
the RSpec Story Runner:

Now, i want to migrate my plugin to cucumber.

My question:
I used the scenario_failed method of the Story Listener to make
screenshots of failing story scenarios.
How can i do that with cucumber?

Thanks,
Thomas
