Can you elaborate? From a position of no knowledge, the most obvious question
to me is: why would I care about the state of O? Either the change in O's
state is observable through its behaviour (in which case I specify that
behaviour) or it's not (in which case I don't care).
The example given is for an auction sniper (S). So,
Given S has just notified one of its listeners that it's bidding
When S is informed that a bid has been made by a competitor
And the auction is closed
Then S should notify its listeners that it lost the auction
Given S has just notified one of its listeners that it's bidding
When S is informed that its bid is highest
And the auction is closed
Then S should notify its listeners that it won the auction
The last one looks like the code below in Java[1], but note this is further on
from the code in chapter 14.
Interestingly, writing it as GWT transforms the style of the expectations. eg,
When S is informed that a bid has been made by a competitor
replaces (something like)
Allow S to notify its listeners that it's in the bidding state
Am I making sense? Not sure if these examples capture the essense.
