Including matchers in Cucumber

Testing RSpec
1

Hi

Where do you include matcher modules in Cucumber so they don’t pollute
Object? ie so

module TwitterMatchers
class HaveUserStatus
# …
end

 def have_user_status(user, status)
   HaveUserStatus.new(user, status)
 end

end

is only visible in

Then “it should push an announcement to Twitter” do
t = Twitter::Base.new(“dummy_user”, “secret”, :api_host =>
“localhost”, :api_port => 7002)
t.should have_user_status(“followme_ann”, “Story title
#@num_stories”)
end

(Actually I’m not convinced it’s necessary in this case, but anyway.)

I had a look at the Cucumber examples but none of them use custom
matchers.

Thanks
Ashley

Put this in steps/env.rb

World do
w = Object.new
w.extend(TwitterMatchers)
w
end

Cool!

I did it like this in the end, when I figured out what it was doing:

class MyWorld
include TwitterMatchers
end

World do
MyWorld.new
end

Thanks Aslak
