Doesn't work for us, either. I think David must have some funky rspec  
requirey stuff going on.

We see this:

   Scenario: Can see the profile page for a user who has a great amount
of details specified
     Given there is a user with all conceivable attributes and  
attachments
       implementation of attachments for users
(Spec::Example::ExamplePendingError)
       /home/nfelger/dev/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/example/ 
pending.rb:13:in
`pending'
       ./features/steps/profile_steps.rb:14:in `Given "there is a user
with all conceivable attributes and attachments"'
       features/visitor/profile.feature:13:in `Given there is a user
with all conceivable attributes and attachments'


Which is what Aslak expected, I think.
