This is my test, but even though @timeout_exception is working during running of the code, it's empty during the test. So how can I test if this variable is set?

	Then(/^the output should be '(.*)'$/) do |expectedException|
	  expect(@timeout_exception).to eq(expectedException)
	end

This is the output of the bundle exec cucumber run.

    And the output should be 'Execution Timeout Error: This deployment has taken too long to run'                                     # features/step_definitions/my_steps.rb:309

      expected: "Execution Timeout Error: This deployment has taken too long to run"
           got: nil

      (compared using ==)
       (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
      ./features/step_definitions/my_steps.rb:310:in `/^the output should be '(.*)'$/'
      features/timeout_lengthy_deploys.feature:25:in `And the output should be 'Execution Timeout Error: This deployment has taken too long to run''
