Story Runner: DRYing items used in many stories

Testing RSpec
1

The number of stories I have is growing and I’m writing the following
step
long hand in each story.

Given 'a user named', 'Andy', 'Watts' do |first_name, family_name|
  @email = first_name + '@test.lan'
  create_user( :first_name => first_name, :family_name =>

family_name,
:email => @email )
end

It’s great that this step is DRY for scenarios within a story.
I’m now wondering if it could be DRY across stories also.

Adding it once in stories/all.rb seems natural, but I couldn’t get it to
work.
Is this possible? or perhaps a new feature request.

Wow, if reusable scenario steps were defined elsewhere, the whole story
file
becomes accessible to non-coders…currently I would remove the guts
from
steps in the first scenario before sharing the story file with
non-coders.

Thanks again for a great set of tools.
Andy

Just realized step code is DRY across stories within the same file.
(in addition to being DRY across scenarios)

I thought it best to organize stories, each in their own separate file.
My question then is about shared step code for use in many files.

Many Thanks
Andy
