Reuse Cucumber steps

Question

I want to reuse some Cucumber steps but can\'t seem to find the right way.

I want to write a step like:

Given /^I login with (.*) credentials$/ |type         


        

Answer 1

Best wrap your steps in %{} rather than quotes. Then, you don't need to escape double quotes which you'll need to use frequently.:

Given /^I login successfully$
  step %{I login with valid credentials}
end

Given /^I login with (.*) credentials$/ |type|
  # do stuff with type being one of "invalid" or "valid"
end
