Setting path in Cucumber

I am setting up a cucumber scenario for setting up a valid user where my last step is:

"Then I should be taken to the show user page"

which I define as:

Then /I should be taken to the show user page/ do
  @user = User.last
  if current_path.respond_to? :should
    current_path.should == path_to(user_path(@user))
  else
    assert_equal path_to(user_path(@user)), current_path
  end
  visit(user_path(@user))
end

After getting an error "Can't find mapping from "/users/49" to a path." I attempted to define the path as:

when /^users\/(.+)$/ do |user|
  user_path(user.to_i)
end

But this yields the error:

syntax error, unexpected keyword_do, expecting keyword_then or ',' or ';' or '\n' when /^landlords/(.+)$/ do |landlord|

I am relatively new to rails and web development and completely new to cucumber and TDD. Also new to regex. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

John

The reason for the "unexpected keyword_do" error is because you have when instead of When, i.e. Ruby is interpreting it as a case-style statement. But as Jon M points, you don't need that anyway.

It looks like user_path(@user) is giving you the path you need, so wrapping that in path_to is causing the error as it tries to do the same thing.

I think getting rid of the path_to call might help:

current_path.should == user_path(@user)
