Story teardowns?

Testing RSpec
1

Does the plain text story framework support teardowns? There doesn’t
seem to be anywhere to put an “after” method. My stories test an
application which parses and modifies a directory tree, which is
currently generated in a Given-clause, and I want it to be deleted after
each story. (I don’t mind if the stories take a few seconds to run, the
specs are still fast)

There is no such feature (yet). For now I’d stick this in a Given that
you use at the beginning of each scenario, for example:

Given “the stash is in a clean state” do

yank any old residual gunk here

end

Thanks, that’s how I solved it for now.

Another option, which I found more helpful, is to add another step like:
And finally, clean up

Which enables you to do all the teardown in:

Then “finally, clean up” do{ teardown_stuff }
