Are you really, really, really sure you want to use nested steps. The collective experience of practitioners is that nested steps are a bad idea and should be avoided. Matt and Aslak even regret mentioning them in The Cucumber Book.

When(~'^Sample Condition One$') { ->

       //Groovy code with three steps below

       // --> How are teh steps called from here?

}

And(~'^Sub step one$') { ->

       //one

}

And(~'^Sub step two$') { ->

       //two

}

And(~'^Sub step three$') { ->

       //three

}

Thanks!

Martin

Thanks Seb.

Use method calls instead. There are numerous email threads, blog pots and online presentations that describe how to do this.

Wasn't there one or two about this at the recent CukeUp conference? The talks are online.

Sounds like I was opening pandoras box - I will have a look at better solutions!

Pandora is already out - we're trying hard to stuff her back in and close the lid :)
