I can agree with this, and I had a similar need just the other day. I
had an action that redirected to different places depending on whether
a certain box was checked. But I didn't spec it by checking the
literal text of URL itself. Instead I worked with the paths
functionality that was already in Cucumber's support directory, and
made it a bit more flexible. Here was my situation:
Scenario: Has an Enclosure
Given I am a contributor
When I go to the create episode page
And I fill in [...blah blah, submitting the form...]
Then I should have an episode titled "Any title"
And I should be on the create enclosure page for that episode
...I wanted that "I should be on (foo) for that (bar)" to be general,
so in my application_steps.rb:
Then /^I should be on (.*page) for that (.*)$/ do |page, element|
current_url.should == path_to(page, instance_variable_get("@#{element}"))
end
...And finally, I rewrote the path_to method in paths.rb a bit:
def path_to(page_name, parent_object = nil)
case page_name
[ . . . ]
when /the create enclosure page/i
new_episode_enclosure_url(parent_object)
This all worked, and it worked well. Though of course, going through
the work of specing and building a separate enclosure model made me
decide that it would really work better as a simple Paperclip
attribute inside episode, so I threw all that away... But c'est la
vie. >8->
