Huh? Is this something you do in Rails?
Then there's this --
-----
Running script/generate cucumber adds this layout to the existing
structure:
||-- features
| |-- step_definitions
| | `-- webrat_steps.rb
| `-- support
| `-- env.rb
|
We are now ready to begin testing with cucumber.

Well, maybe for some people...but not for me.
I simply cannot see what to do first.
First, let me a assure you that ignorance, or at least the admission to
it, is a de facto requirement here. If we all knew everything then
there would be precious little to write about.
Nicely put! Thanks for the reassurance. I remain assured, however, that
I'll assuredly be the class dummy here, which is to say that I will
quite effortlessly make all others look very good (!).
Second, as the author of the Cucumber Backgrounder, I apologize for my
evident bias in creating a solely Rails Centric guide. This article
was, in fact, my first attempt at such a thing and I completely
overlooked that others might not approach testing with cucumber from
outside the Rails Framework. Over the next little while I will
endeavour to correct that defect.
Very kind of you.
Third, that article was intended as a guide on how to get cucumber
working inside a Rails project rather than a guide on how to actually
construct tests/features. In other words, it deals primarily with the
mechanics of setting up the environment rather than with exercising the
capabilities.
Distinction noted.
All me to say that I found, and continue to find, your article a primary
source of real value to me, far more useful to me than not, as I
commence my cucumber adventure, later today. Thanks for your effort, and
for any further efforts you make in a similar direction.
