Merb + Cucumber integration

h1. merb_cucumber (UNMAINTAINED: Maintained repository is now at http://github.com/roman/merb_cucumber)

Merb + Cucumber integration with Webrat support.

h2. Migrating to merb_cucumber 0.5.0

merb_cucumber 0.5.0 now requires cucumber 0.1.13, which introduces some breaking changes. If you were already using merb_cucumber, you'll need to do the following:

  • Change the last line of bin/cucumber to be:

    Cucumber::CLI.execute ARGV

  • Add a cucumber.yml to your Merb.root with the following contents:

    default: --format pretty features

If you experience any problems, please contact me (david) on github.

h2. Requirements

  • merb-core >= 1.0.6.1
  • cucumber >= 0.1.13
  • webrat >= 0.3.2 (Optional)

h2. First Time

Inside your merb project root, run

$ merb-gen cucumber

For Webrat support, run

$ merb-gen cucumber --session-type webrat

This will also install a sample login feature that should pass if you're using merb-auth.

h2. Usage

To execute all the features run

$ rake features

h2. Notes

  • When you are implementing the steps of an scenario, please use the new request test helper, if you try to use the dispatch_to method, it won't work as expected.
  • Webrat methods other than 'visits' are now singular only.
