Hi - sorry for the cross-list post, but this issue happens only with cucumber and jruby, and I'm not 100% sure which has the problem. It doesn't happen with non-j ruby though. Versions: cucumber 0.2.3 jruby 1.2.0 on Ubuntu amd64
When I have a cucumber feature with a "Then" step: (well, really it's an "And" step): And the association between "oh" and "apf" has an active adpoint named "ap" with id "7890" which translates to the ruby code: Then /^the association between "(.*)" and "(.*)" has an active adpoint named "(.*)" with id "(.*)"$/ do |arg1,arg2, arg3, arg4| # nothing needed here to cause the problem... end In JRuby (with --backtrace enabled), I get: And the association between "oh" and "apf" has an active adpoint named "ap" with id "7890" # test/features/step_definitions/migration_steps.rb:122 wrong # of arguments(4 for 3) (ArgumentError) /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/core_ext/instance_exec.rb:20:in `cucumber_instance_exec' /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/core_ext/instance_exec.rb:38:in `cucumber_run_with_backtrace_filtering' /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/core_ext/instance_exec.rb:10:in `cucumber_instance_exec' /home/yellow/Projects/cmt_workspace/cmtapps/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.3.5/bin/../lib/cucumber/step_definition.rb:105:in `invoke' ... rest of stack trace elided In the normal ruby version of cucumber, this works fine. I looked at the specific code line, but it's just a call to: instance_exec(*args, &block) Does JRuby have a problem with large numbers of regexp capture groups? Or is there something else going on here? - Korny -- Kornelis Sietsma korny at my surname dot com "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of" _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
