Hi,

I just started playing with cucumber

Definitely helpful - after following the steps here It runs (mostly, see below).

They clearly are to me. I created a new feature (for a new model "Invitation) 
and a rspec_scaffold as indicated on the page.
With the generated Feature it is easy to see the differences with Rspec story 
runner and the way webrat should work.
It took me a bit to figure out that the generated code assumes the Model has a 
:name field (my Invitation has a Subject that mostly identifies it).
After fixing that, I get to 10 steps passed, 1 failed (and 6 skipped). Now I am 
stuck, because I do not understand the failure webrat seems to give-
When I go to invitation/new, I see the Subject field, but WebRat doesn't... :

Feature: Manage invitations
  In order to keep track of invitations
  A invitation mechanic
  Should be able to manage several invitations

  Scenario: Register new invitation
    Given I am on the new invitation page
    When I fill in "Subject" with "My invitation subject"
      Could not find [Webrat::TextField, Webrat::TextareaField, 
Webrat::PasswordField]: "Subject" (RuntimeError)
      
/home/willem/courses/experienceagile/ebay/trunk/excrm/vendor/plugins/webrat/lib/webrat/core/flunk.rb:4:in
 `flunk'

      ./features/steps/common_webrat.rb:13:in `When /^I fill in "(.*)" with 
"(.*)"$/'
      features/manage_invitations.feature:8:in `When I fill in "Subject" with 
"My invitation subject"'

I also installed the gems as indicated. "Subject" is a TextField, and I can see 
it... I would greatly appreciate any help...

Kind regards,

Willem
