I have played a bit with RSpec specs and now want to check out stories. I
note that there is no generator for rspec stories pre se (unless I managed
to miss all references to one ) and that the only directory relating to
stories added by installing rspec is ./stories itself.
The documentation at rspec.info seems to presume a great deal of prior
knowledge. What I am looking for is a guided tour of what should go where
and how each file should be called to implement stories.
For the moment I have placed everything in ./stories, although I am nearly
certain that this is not the way to go.
I have created a file called "new_job.txt" in ./stories that contains this:
--->
Story: open a new job
As an authorized user
I want to open a new job
So that I can do work
For a client
Scenario: client is active
Given client exists in database
And client status is active
When I add a new job
Then a job number is automatically assigned
And a job_parties entry is added for job and client with type "bill"
And job_parties status is set to "quote"
Scenario: client is held for administrative approval
...
<---
I infer that I should also create a file called new_job.rb in stories and
that it should contain:
--->
with_steps_for :new_jobs_steps do
run './new_job.txt'
end
<---
Then I believe that I require yet another file called "new_job_steps.rb"
that has code that looks somewhat like this:
--->
steps_for(:new_job_steps) do
Given "client exists in database" do
Client.destroy_all "short_name == 'test client exists'"
Client.create!(:short_name => 'test client exists',
:status => 'active')
<---
and at this point I am lost. Do I really need more than one step file,
say one or more to create the test client with the necessary attributes
and another to add the job and perhaps a third to create an authorized
user login? Does that mean that new_job.rb should look like this:
--->
with_steps_for :login, :client_active, :new_jobs_steps do
run './new_job.txt'
end
<---
Can someone show me how they would wire this together? and with what
directories and file names that they would use? I am having a deal of
trouble getting my head wrapped around this approach.
