How do I use a predefined variable/constant in my Cucumber testing Scenario

I have defined a variable as userid in env.rb.

userid='1234'

In my Cucumber testing, Scenario, I wish to confirm that my response contains the correct userid. However, I do not wish to hard code the same in my Senario or step definition. Is it possible to do so?

I would place an additional file, let's say test_constanst.rb in the features/ dir. There, I would define a module like this:

module TestConstants
  def self.user_id
    1234
  end
end

Like this, you have it separated from test configuration and code. You would just have to requrire the file from env.rb.

Variable scope in Ruby is controlled by sigils to some degree. Variables starting with $ are global, variables with @ are instance variables, @@ means class variables, and names starting with a capital letter are constants. Make the variable global and it will be available everywhere, i.e

$userid='1234'
