Creating Step Definitions
Without thinking too much about what they mean, let’s just copy and paste the snippets from Cucumber’s last output into a Ruby file. Just like the features, Cucumber is expecting the step definitions to be found in a conventional place:
| | $ mkdir features/step_definitions |

| first_taste/02/features/step_definitions/calculator_steps.rb | |
