Make your cucumber steps definitions time aware

If you're like me, you've found yourself with a cucumber step definition like this:



And you want to write a step definition like this:



Instead of doing all that extra work, I threw together a cucumber step that lets you add times to any existing step definition:



To make things even easier I created a gem called Timebomb. It lets you append time constraints to your cucumber step defintions by mixing and matching:

- seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years
- ago, from now

So with the following step definition:



I can write any of the following:

- Given I received an invitation 1 day from now
- Given I received an invitation 2 weeks ago
- Given I received an invitation 3 months from now
- Given I received an invitation 15 years ago

Timebomb to the rescue, BOOM!

== Installing ==

First install Timebomb

- sudo gem install timebomb --source http://gemcutter.org

Now, just require it in your cucumber env.rb file. BOOM goes the dynamite.
