allow to use assertion / step groups

[gr2m]

I 😍 Dalek's API.

One thing that'd I'd like to do is this:

test.open( url ).assert( userIsSignedOut ).done()

function userIsSignedOut() {
  this.assert.chain()
    .visible('.accountBar')
    .text('.username', '')
  .end()
}

That would allow me to define reusable steps / assertion groups. I'd like to have the same for steps, like so

test.open( url ).then( takeScreenshots ).done()

function takeScreenshots() {
    this.resize({width: 320, height: 480})
    this.screenshot('/screenshots/:viewport')
    this.resize({width: 768, height: 1024})
    this.screenshot('/screenshots/:viewport')
    this.resize({width: 1280, height: 800})
    this.screenshot('/screenshots/:viewport')
    this.resize({width: 1680, height: 1050})
    this.screenshot('/screenshots/:viewport')
}

This would make the actual test files very consize and even more readable, at the same time allow for better code reuse. Happy to help building this if you like it

Yep,
with the current architecture, this is more or less impossible (at least in the way you scribbled it here).
But you can do something similar, I have an example lying around from a workshop I did a few months
ago, see:

It is not that elegant, but we will have a better solution for this in Skaro.
