Cucumber-Rails brings Cucumber to Rails2 and Rails3. It contains 2 generators - one for bootstrapping your Rails app for Cucumber, and a second one for generating features.
Cucumber-Rails also contains Cucumber Step Definitions that wrap Capybara or Webrat, giving you a head start for writing Cucumber features against your Rails app.
Before you can use the generator, add the necessary gems to your project’s Gemfile as follows:
gem 'capybara' gem 'database_cleaner' gem 'cucumber-rails' gem 'cucumber' gem 'rspec-rails' gem 'spork' gem 'launchy' # So you can do Then show me the page
Then install the gems by running:
bundle install
Learn about the various options:
ruby script/rails generate cucumber:install --help
Finally, bootstrap your Rails app, for example:
ruby script/rails generate cucumber:install --rspec --capybara
Before you can use the generator, install the gem by running:
gem install cucumber-rails
Learn about the various options:
ruby script/generate cucumber --help
Finally, bootstrap your Rails app, for example:
ruby script/generate cucumber --rspec --capybara
IMPORTANT: Only do this if you are new to Cucumber. We recommend you write your Cucumber features by hand once you get the hang of it.
Example:
ruby script/rails generate cucumber:feature post title:string body:text published:boolean ruby script/rails generate scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean rake db:migrate rake cucumber
Example:
ruby script/generate feature post title:string body:text published:boolean ruby script/generate scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean rake db:migrate rake cucumber
