Scenario Templates

[tygerpatch]

Cucumber allows you to group similar scenarios into a Scenario Outline. The following example was taken from cucke4ninja:

Scenario Outline: third-level ninjas engage samurai   Given the ninja has a <belt level> level black-belt   When attacked by <opponent>   Then the ninja should <expected action>

  Examples:     | belt level | opponent | expected action |     | third | a samurai | engage the opponent |     | third | Chuck Norris | run for his life |

(SEE ALSO: http://cuke4ninja.com/sec_groups_of_scenarios.html)

Note: JBehave calls these Parameterized Scenarios.

Pepper should also have this feature, but I think "Scenario Template" is a more appropriate name. I also think "Content" more accurately describes that the givens values will be used inside the Scenario Template.

Here's what the Pepper equivalent of the above will look like:

# third-level ninjas engage samurai Scenario Template:   Given the ninja has a <belt level> level black-belt   When attacked by <opponent>   Then the ninja should <expected action>

  Content Table:     | belt level | opponent | expected action |     | third | a samurai | engage the opponent |     | third | Chuck Norris | run for his life |

Ignore the part about the issue being Closed. I'm still new to using github's issue tracking feature.

This issue almost fixed. The next step is to allow multiple use cases:

# submit guess Scenario Template:   Given the secret code is "<code>"   When I guess "<guess>"   Then the mark should be "<mark>"

  # no matches   Content Table:     |code|guess|mark|     |1234|5555| |

  # 1 number correct   Content Table:     |code| guess | mark |     |1234|1555| + |     |1234|2555| - |

Note: The above was derived from page 51 of David Chelimsky's "The RSpec Book"
