True, but cucumber is useful for lots of different kinds of projects. I'm currently using it to build a java webapp, so I don't need much beyond cucumber, selenium, and selenium-client.

I'm aware webrat works without rails, but when I looked it didn't seem a big boost for our kind of app. On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 10:42 PM, Chris Flipse <cfli...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 7:42 AM, Korny Sietsma <ko...@sietsma.com> wrote: >> >> Presumably you only need these if you are *building* cucumber? >> >> If you just want to use cucumber, it should be as simple as "gem >> install cucumber", and it should get all the other dependencies.
