If the code inside the steps is not the same, and you can't figure out a way to make it universal, then rename one or both of the steps (and alter the features that call it)
e.g. if the code is page specific, then maybe "Given On the xxx page I am on the properties tab" or something of that sort. If the code inside the steps is the same, remove one of them. Part of the idea of Cucumber is being able to re-use steps, so there's no need to have the same step in two places. Where you put the steps (in terms fo what step file you use) is up to you, you could for example create a 'common_step" file, or group by functionality. You might want to read this: http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/step-organisation and also THIS as well: http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/feature-coupled-steps-antipattern which talks a little about what you want to avoid. Also be aware that the very latest edition of the framework (0.4.5 as I write this) now allows you to install and use later versions of cucumber, which means you get to use <drum roll please> : http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/scenario-outlines as well as a host of other nifty features like pending steps, etc. (and there was much rejoicing) --Chuck On Apr 9, 11:54 am, keith shaw <keithsha...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have recently started to use watircraft to organize my test cases.
