Using variable values within different scenarios in a feature, capybara -

-

i have feature 4 scenarios. use value of 1 variable set in scenario 1 across different steps , in scenario 2.

i use $ not set. assuming $ value remains same across feature 

when(/^the user goes manageusers, picks 1 of secondary users$/)   click_link "admin"   click_link "manage users"   emailofuser=env["email"].to_s   atpos = emailofuser.index('@')   emailofuser = emailofuser[0,atpos]   page.body.to_s.scan(/<td>(.*?)@abc.com<\/td>/).flatten().each |w|     if "#{w}" != emailofuser     $secondaryuseremail = "#{w}" + "@abc.com"     break     end   end end  when(/^the secondary user logs in password "([^"]*)"$/) |arg|   if  geturl != uri.parse(current_url)     visit geturl   end   find(:xpath,"//input[@id='user_email']").set($secondaryuseremail )   fill_in "user_password", :with => arg   click_button "sign in" end

in above step, steps in 1 scenario in feature file , have same step secondary user in scenario 2 within feature. variable $secondaryuseremail times not set , login secondary user fails.

whats best way me declare variables can access across steps within scenario , across scenarios within feature.

you should find out why $secondaryuseremail not set. sounds bug somewhere in app you're testing. if it's not bug, should try handle exception.

to original question, might idea set variables in helper methods, call these methods access them using instance variables. people recommend against sharing variables across scenarios i've used helper methods in order store variables throughout specs go unchanged.

this question has answer here: what's mongoose error cast objectid failed value xxx @ path “_id”? 7 answers even though has been asked many times because entity has no valid objectid field. i came across situation objectid set value can casted objectid still error. the schema: var serviceschema = parammongoose.schema({ servicename:{ type: parammongoose.schema.types.objectid , ref: 'servicenames',required:true } }); pseudo code: servicefromdb=new service({servicename:'some name'}); servicefromdb.servicename='000000000000000000000001'; servicefromdb.save(function(paramerror,paramdata){ if(paramerror){ console.log('but but...',servicefromdb,paramerror) } }); the output of code is: but but... { servicename: 000000000000000000000001, _id: 55079a90286f49280364f78b } { [casterror: cast objectid faile...

[C++][SFML 2.2] Strange Performance Issues - Moving Mouse Lowers CPU Usage -

-
i've been working on making 2d map editor past 2 weeks or so, , i've run strange problem. trying optimize code, example, making functions should've been functions begin with, did made cpu usage go through roof. i've tried commenting out different sections of code thought culprits (scrolling, rendering, other calculations) no avail. think issue might trying call things within different functions, sake of making modular possible, i'd functionality. the other major change i've made since file i'm comparing i've ported variables external cpp file, since having variables global makes lot easier use within different functions. simple issue, can't life of me understand why happens. with original code, around 2-3% cpu usage. new code, around 20-35%, but, if move mouse around, it'll drop around 6-8%. tl;dr: after trying optimize code using functions, i've somehow killed performance, , found strange quirk moving mouse reduces cpu usage.. /...
