Cucumber/Webrat...
Is it just me, or are Cucumber tests in combination with Webrat really brittle? I’m generating messages to go in my inbox, and they weren’t showing up because I forgot to make them “from” the current user. I can’t say:

…because that would load a page with no messages on it. It has to be:
Given there are 4 messages And I am on the messages page
Not as versatile as Cucumber advocates seem to be promising. Maybe I’ll get used to this kind of stuff over time, but right now I’m encountering/generating way too many head-scratching bugs to be productive.
