Mechanism to document page elements

#34

As a project grows the number of steps and page elements can swell quickly.

Add the ability to list steps and page elements by including them in RDoc output

  • RDoc of a watircraft project can be used to help an automation team be productive, but steps and page elements are not included.
  • Steps syntax is unforgiving, but includes messy things like grammar and spaces, and IDEs don't help with code completion. Thus an easy way to list them or search for them would increase productivity.
  • A complex site could have thousands of page elements. These might be easy to review in RDoc on each page's Class.

    This is two different requests -- one for steps and one for pages.

    I don't think cucumber provides the support requested to lists steps -- not sure really, as they add features all the time. So any way, please check with them.

    The suggestion to add a way to list all the pages and their elements is interesting, and the plumbing is already in place to do most of this. So I will think about this.

    Please break down this request as two requests.

    Changing this ticket to focus on documenting page elements, which i think is an interesting and feasible idea.

    YARD looks interesting and might prove more stable than RDoc, fyi.
