I suggested this change while reviewing a cucumber-using project:

  • Given /^"([^"]*)" instance's provider is not accessible$/ do |arg1|
  • Given /^"(.?)" instance's provider is not accessible$/ do |arg1|
    since the use of non-greedy .
    ? is equivalent and more readable.
    Then I learned that these were based on suggestions from cucumber,
    so now I'm suggesting the improvement here.

Looks good. Note to self - make generated regexp for numbers use (-?\d+) instead of (\d+) at the same time, so that negative ints can be matched.

Worthwhile adding (-?\d+\.?\d*) for floats too?
