How it All Started?

Hi there. I am Petyo, and I am into software. Recently, ruby and rails seem to be the weapon of choice. And them rails folks love to TAFT. A while ago, trying to blend into that brave community of ‘radicals’, I decided to give webrat with selenium for unit testing, in order to mitigate the constant slippery of client-side errors the project was experiencing.

As usually, one thing leads to another. Soon cucumber was in the game, and, before you know it, purchased the beta of the rspec book, reading about the strange and sometimes awkward syntax of my new tools.

	Feature: sending emails through Postmark API
	In order to communicate effectively with the world
	My application should be able to deliver emails through the postmark API

	Background:
	Given the service listens to "http://postmarkapp.local"
	And I have an account with api key "mykey"

	Scenario: Sending simple email
	Given I send the following email:

	# set a big scrolling buffer
	vbell off
	defscrollback 10000
	# Set the caption on the bottom line
	caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %c"
	startup_message off
	msgwait 2
	autodetach on
