Generic names/aliases for step definitions

[Shamaoke]

Hi.

Is there any official generic name for the Given, When, Then, etc. step definition methods? For example, such generic names could be step or define.

# features/step_definitions/showtime_steps.rb

define 'a movie' do
  @movie = Movie.create!
end

define "I set the showtime to {string} at {string}" do |date, time|
  @movie.update_attribute(:showtime_date, Date.parse(date))
  @movie.update_attribute(:showtime_time, time)
end

define "the showtime description should be {string}" do |showtime|
  expect(@movie.showtime).to eq(showtime)
end

If such name does not exist, is there an official way to create aliases for the step definition methods? Currently, I do the following.

# features/support/env.rb

require 'cucumber/rails'

class << self
  alias_method :step, :register_rb_step_definition
  alias_method :define, :register_rb_step_definition
end

# or
# singleton_class.alias_method :step, :register_rb_step_definition
# singleton_class.alias_method :define, :register_rb_step_definition

Is it a good solution, or is there any better way to accomplish the task?

Thanks.
