Hi All,

I’ve been looking at simply\_bdd lately and I like the concept of it, but  
for  
the life of me I can’t see where to put the context calls. Is there a  
short  
tutorial somewhere that someone can point me in the direction of that  
will  
enlighten me.

Cheers

in your test cases. context is just a shortcut for creating a test  
suite.

Hi Rick,

I’ve had a quick look at the Memphisto tests and found the  
absolute\_url\_tests file has these context methods.

[http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/mephisto/tags/rel-0.6.1/test/unit/absolute\_url\_tests.rb](http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/mephisto/tags/rel-0.6.1/test/unit/absolute_url_tests.rb)

But in there I don’t see anything for loading fixtures, also it’s not in  
the  
readme. How do I go about this?

Thanx  
Daniel
