Declaring a global method in Cucumber

If I have the following module

module UserSession
 $user_array = factory_girl_users.values

 def factory_girl_users
  Hash[:user_1 => FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:automated_user), :user_2 => FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:automated_user_1)]
 end
end
World(UserSession)

How do I access the factory_girl_users method, since at the moment I'm getting:

undefined method `factory_girl_users' for UserSession:Module (NoMethodError)

I can't think what is responsible for this.

Solution

  • I think you can define a module method

    module UserSession

  def self.factory_girl_users
    Hash[:user_1 => FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:automated_user), :user_2 => FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:automated_user_1)]
   end

  def self.user_array
    factory_girl_users.values
  end
end

    To access the user_array You would do UserSession.user_array.
