In SpecFlow how can I share data between steps/features?

Question

I have 2 features that use a common \'When\' step but have different \'Then\' steps in different classes.

How do I access, for example, the ActionResult from my MVC

Answer 1

I have a helper class which lets me write

Current.Value = pageObject;

which is a wrapper over the ScenarioContext. It works off the type name, so it would need to be extended a bit if you need to access two variables of the same type

 public static class Current where T : class
 {
     internal static T Value 
     {
         get { 
               return ScenarioContext.Current.ContainsKey(typeof(T).FullName)
               ? ScenarioContext.Current[typeof(T).FullName] as T : null;
             }
         set { ScenarioContext.Current[typeof(T).FullName] = value; }
     }
 }

2019 edit: I would use @JoeT's answer nowadays, it looks like you get the same benefits without needing to define an extension
