Ahh ok think I found it...
In my test file at the start...
class MyListener
def method_missing sym, *args, &block
# ignore all messages you don't care about
end
def story_started(title, narrative)
puts "...Started story #{title}"
end
def story_ended(title, narrative)
puts "...Ended story #{title}"
end
end
Spec::Story::Runner.register_listener(MyListener.new)
Then I define my steps using StepGroup.new
Then the Scenarios
It seems to work although not very intuitive :)
I'd prefer a before(:all) and after(:all)
