Spreewald development steps

Our gem spreewald Show archive.org snapshot supports a few helpers for development.

The following content is also part of the spreewald's README Show archive.org snapshot , but is duplicated to this card to allow repeating.

Then console

Pauses test execution and opens an IRB shell with current context. Does not halt the application-under-test.

Example:

  And I am signed in as the user above

When I go to the dashboard
  And console
Then I should see "Hans Peter"

Example:
