some interesting viewpoints so far. How do people feel about something like this:
Given every type of user When they visit account/manage Then only Admins and Managers should get access Given("every type of user") do @users = { :admin => new_admin, :manager => new_manager, :supervisor => new_supervisor, :reviewer => new_reviewer, :user => new_user } end When("they visit $url") do |url| @url = url end Then("only $allow_list should get access") do |allow_list| allow_list = allow_list.split(' and ').collect {|x| x.downcase.singularize.intern} allow_list.each do |x| user = @users.delete(x) # log user in get @url response.should_not be_redirect end @users.each do |x| #log user in get @url response.should redirect_to("not_authorised") end end any major BDD violations there? I personally don't mind the somewhat complex steps because as Ben pointed out, the plain text stories are more manageable this way and still very readable. Neil M.
