cucumber-rails¶ ↑

Extracted the Rails generators from the Cucumber gem, inspired by this posting on the Cukes Mailing List.

The goal is to provide i18n of the webrat_steps.rb plus some other useful enhancements.

Install¶ ↑

Add it to the Gemfile as follows:

gem "cucumber-rails", :git => "http://github.com/alg/cucumber-rails.git"

then:

gem bundle

… and you are ready to go.

Usage¶ ↑

Once you install the gem, the generators will be available to all Rails applications on your system. If you run ‘script/rails generate` (or `script/generate` on Rails 2.x) without any additional arguments you should see the available generators listed.

To run the generator, go to your rails project directory and call it.

Rails 3:

script/rails generate cucumber:skeleton

Rails 2.x:

script/generate cucumber

Included Generators¶ ↑

Rails 3:

• cucumber:skeleton – Sets up Cucumber in your Rails project

• cucumber:feature – Generates a skeleton for a new feature

Rails 2:

• cucumber – Sets up Cucumber in your Rails project

• feature – Generates a skeleton for a new feature

To view the README for each generator, run it with the –help option.

script/rails generate cucumber:skeleton --help
script/rails generate cucumber:feature --help

or for Rails 2.x:

script/generate cucumber --help
script/generate feature --help

Tests¶ ↑

This project has tests, but for practical and historical reasons they live in a different project: github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber-rails-test/
