I think this is a really good point. However, I'd suggest that this could still be done in Cucumber. If you have a step like "Then I should see my wozbat's details" you could put your detail map in the step definition: Then /^I should see my wozbat's details$/ do Then "I should see my wozbat's wibble" Then "I should see my wozbat's wobble" Then "I should see my wozbat's wombat" end And so forth. Generalize or specialize as needed. I don't think this is conceptually better than doing it in a view spec. View specs probably are philosophically superior in most cases. The advantage is that in Cucumber this takes essentially no extra setup and is fairly concise to read, whereas mocking your model instances in a view spec is a pain and the specs themselves tend to be much more verbose. -- Have Fun, Steve Eley (sfe...@gmail.com) ESCAPE POD - The Science Fiction Podcast Magazine http://www.escapepod.org _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
