copied!<p>I came up with a solution, but I am not sure of its validity in terms of how clean it is. I ended up using Factory Girl (installed the gem). I kept my scenario the same. </p> <p><br> Under <b>features/step_definitions</b> I created <b>posting_steps.rb</b></p> <pre><code>Given /^there is a posting$/ do Factory(:posting) end </code></pre> <p><br> Under <b>features/support</b> I created a file <b>factories.rb</b> with the following inside:</p> <pre><code>Factory.define :posting do |f| f.association :user f.title 'blah' f.location 'Some place' end </code></pre> <p>In my <b>paths.rb</b> I used</p> <pre><code>when /the edit posting page/ edit_posting_path(Posting.first) </code></pre> <p><br><br> How it works <i>(or at least how I think it works)</i> is that as <br></p> <pre><code>Given there is a posting </code></pre> <p>is executed, the <b>posting_step.rb</b> is invoked (<i><b>Factory(:posting) is basically Factory.create(:posting)</b></i>), which in turn uses the factory definition I created in <b>factories.rb</b>. This leads to an instance of a posting being created. <br><br>Then in my <b>paths.rb</b> <br></p> <pre><code>when /the edit posting page/ edit_posting_path(Posting.first) </code></pre> <p>gets passed the id from the instance, to ultimately get a path that could resemble /posting/1/edit , and the test continues on its way! <br><br> If there are any corrections to be made, please let me know as I am just learning the ropes. Hopefully this will help other newbies out there!</p>
