Next week, we’ll finish the bookmark creation process and the following, we’ll add styling with SASS.

    The volume of your voice is really low in this one.

    Tip: your “I am logged in” step can be written like:

    Given /^I am logged in$/ do
    steps %{
    Given I have a user with email address “chuck@teachmetocode.com”
    When I go to the sign in page
    …
    }
    end

    Yup, the vol is not only low, its missing.
    I can’t hear anything though my volume is full.
    And not only in some place, all along the show.

    I’m really enjoying working along with these. Couple of gotchas in this one:

    1. When editing ability.rb Charles misses out ‘can :show, Bookmark’ – without which you’ll just get redirected off the page.
    2. You can get a snippet of code for laying out the flash notice in the layout from the Railscast 224 code: https://github.com/ryanb/railscasts-episodes/raw/master/episode-224/store/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
