RSpec example steps

Given/When/Then/And/But steps for RSpec examples

Description

This gem brings two major functionality to your spec/features

  • Verbosity for rspec documentation formatter.
  • Ability to comment or describe set of actions in example into some step.

Installation

  • For rspec v2 use gem v0.2.x or rspec2 branch
  • For rspec v3 use gem v3.x.x or master branch
gem 'rspec-example_steps'

Add to spec/spec_helper.rb

require 'rspec/example_steps'

Example

spec/features/search_spec.rb

context 'Searching' do
  Steps 'Result found' do
    Given 'I am on search page' do
      visit '/search'
      expect(page).to have_content('Search')
    end

    When 'I search something' do
      fill_in 'Search', with: 'John'
      click_button 'Go'
    end

    Then 'I should see result' do
      expect(page).to have_content('Result')
    end
  end
end

Documentation formatting output:

rspec -fd spec/features/search_spec.rb

Searching
  User succesfully replaces device
    Given I am on search page
    When I search something
    Then I should see result

Pending steps

Simular to Example :pending behavior:

Steps 'User login' do
  # just skip block
  When 'I go to login'

  # pass pending: true option
  Then 'I should see welcome', pending: true do
  ...
  end

  # pass pending: 'some pending message'
  Then 'I should see last login IP', pending: 'WIP' do
  ...
  end
end
