I’m preparing to present a practical demonstration of rspec, cucumber and friends at Rails Summit Latin America this Thursday.

<p>I was playing with the idea of using cucumber/rspec to drive the development of a cucumber browser/editor, but I&#8217;ve decided that it ends up being a bit too meta for a conference presentation.</p>


<p>Of course, nothing is too meta for a blog post, and clearly I&#8217;ve already procrastinated a great deal if it&#8217;s just a few days before and I&#8217;m still prototyping the app, so why not take some more time away from what I should be doing and post this sillyness?</p>


<p>And with <strong>that</strong> ... enjoy!</p>

Feature: create feature


So that I can easily create new feature
  As a stakeholder
  I want to create a feature in a browser

Scenario: create feature
    When I create a new feature named "Eat Cheese"
    And I give "Eat Cheese" the narrative:
      So that I can be happy
      As a cheese-loving person
      I want to eat cheese
    And I add a scenario to "Eat Cheese" named "roquefort"
    And I add a step to "roquefort" with "Given I am holding my nose"
    And I add a step to "roquefort" with "When I eat a hunk o' roquefort"
    And I add a step to "roquefort" with "Then I should smile at its deliciousness"

And I save and run the "roquefort" scenario

Then I should see "3 steps pending"
And I should see:
  You can use these snippets to implement pending steps:

  Given /^I am holding my nose$/ do
  end

  When /^I eat a hunk o' roquefort$/ do
  end

  Then /^I should smile at its deliciousness$/ do
  end

DISCLAIMER: This also assumes some support for multi-line steps that has not yet been implemented and may not be supported as depicted here. So please don’t try this at home.
