13        my $context = Workflow::Context->new();
14        $context->param( foo => 'bar' );
15        $context->param( current_user => User->fetch( 'foo@bar.com' ) );
16        $wf->context( $context );

20        sub evaluate {
21            my ( $self, $wf ) = @_;
22            my $current_user = $wf->context->param( 'current_user' );
