Finished up REST API DSL out of testing steps for Cucumber. Not entirely satisfied with it as Cucumber ends up creating a very impoverished DSL since it's Gherkin and not real code. I don't Gherkin can avoid repetition. I don't think Gherkin can't maintain state. This means you just have repetition and your state gets pushed down awkwardly into the Clojure step definitions which should be functional.
Work on item create API tests.
Some refactoring and code cleanup of the test code.
