Custom functions not supported in steps?

[NobbZ]

Hi!

I am going to move from cucumber to turnip, but while converting my steps an error occured...

The converted stepfile can be found at https://github.com/NobbZ/webworld/blob/feature/turnip/spec/turnip_steps.rb

When I try to run a feature that requires a login I get the following error:

  1) Users Logging in
     Failure/Error: Turnip::StepDefinition.execute(self, Turnip::StepModule.all_steps_for(*scenario_tags), step)
     undefined method `log_in' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_3::Nested_1:0x00000004240960>
     # spec/turnip_steps.rb:20:in `block in <top (required)>'

Is there a way to use my "log_in" function or do I have to repay myself and write the necessarely commands in every step that should use this function?

There are actually two ways. On edge Turnip (doesn't work in the latest gem release), you could do this:

steps_for :global do
  def log_in ... end
end

Or you could use RSpec's configure mechanism (remember, Turnip is just RSpec with fancy sugar):

module LogInStuff
  def log_in ... end
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include LogInStuff, :turnip => true
end

or something like that.

That seems to work. Now I have to find a way, to get turnip working in RubyMine. But thats another issue, and I can workaround with command line

If you came here googling, this is useful:

using steps_for(:global) is deprecated, add steps to Turnip::Steps instead.

@NobbZ
Did you come up with something so that RubyMine can find it way to the step definition when using Turnip?

Even if I did, I wouldn't remember anymore. I created the issue 9 years ago and moved along. I do use ruby only on very rare occasions and only for very small scripts without extensive testing.
