We found that we can raise a Cucumber::Pending error in the step
matcher to achieve the same effect, though in practice we're tending
to just write PENDING in the feature and break the link to the step
matcher.
Actually something that would really help us is the ability to

To follow on from David's great links, I posted an article recently
which has a collection of links that I found very useful while learning
stories. It also has some of the lessons I learnt along the way. Thought
it might be helpful.
I find the debugger helpful to step through the underlying Rails code
when I am perplexed about the (errant) operation of something. The
underworld is full of wonderful secrets. Plus, I do make mistakes and
misinterpret and the debugger lets me take a look around. I try to

Why don't use just use a slug for these things? In other words - use
a unique name for each record, since the numbers 10 and 11 don't

Then, use a factory (like FixtureReplacement or Object Daddy) to
generate the records in env.rb. Here's how you'd do that with

We just write a step that says 'Given I am logged in' which actually
walks through the login process on the screens (fills_in :username etc).
However you could have another step like 'Given authenication is

The heart of my question is the seemingly chicken-and-egg-like nature
