Because nobody asked for it :) Wanna file a feature request at lighthouse? http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com > I.e. it seems to me like > it would be nice to write up scenario titles for scenarios as you think of > them, and for low-priority fringe scenarios leave the steps unwritten until > it comes time to implement the scenario? > > Is there a way to add comments to the plain text file in plain text stories? Anything between the line that begins with Story: and the first line that begins with Scenario: will be part of the story narrative. Sort of like a comment, but it gets printed out. So I sometimes add additional commentary there to provide context around the "As a .., I want ..., So that ..." statement. Anything after the first Scenario: that does not begin with any of the keywords (Scenario:, Given, When, Then, And) is simply ignored, so you can put comments between steps and they will not be processed. I would not go crazy with this at this point because there has been a request to support multiline text in plain text stories, at which point your comments might accidentally get interpreted. Perhaps now is the time to devise a formal "comment indicator." I think the obvious choice would be the same one we use in Ruby: # Given this step # this is a comment When this other step etc Thoughts?
