Take this feature:

# language:no
Egenskap: Mye fin æøå
  Scenario: Sjekke at argumenter blir pene
    Når vi kjører "større" biler blir det "jævlig" mye eksos

Prints out this crazy snippet:

   @Når("^vi kjører \"([^\"]*)\" biler blir det \"([^\"]*)\" mye eksos$")
   @Pending
   public void #Language:noEgenskap:MyeFinæøåScenario:SjekkeAtArgumenterBlirPeneNårViKjørerStørreBilerBlirDetJævligMy
  (String arg1, String arg2) {
   }

Not good

running mvn cuke4duke:cucumber maven is unable to resolve the dependency

Currently not possible because we take over the whole step mother with a pure java one. We need to make it smarter...

I have added an explanation of why in the code. See this commit: 20321f0

I'm getting the following stack trace when a step has ambiguous matches and I've told cucumber to --guess.

Our feature has a line that reads,

Then I should see
    """
    Some Words!
    Some more words.
    A lot of wordy word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word wordy words
    """

Which generates:

Then /^I should see this$/ do |string|
    pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
end
@Then("^I should see this$")
@Pending
public void iShouldSeeThisWithString(cuke4duke.Table string) {
}

But when I try to run the cuke I'm getting the following error:

Sorry, cuke4duke doesn't know how to convert a org.jruby.gen.InterfaceImpl716911626@bf711e (class org.jruby.gen.InterfaceImpl716911626) to type interface cuke4duke.Table (NativeException)
  features/initialization/10048.feature:42:in `Then I should see'

Any idea what's going on here?

In a clojure feature if you have an assert call that fails and raises an exception you do not see the proper exception in the output. You should see something like:

java.lang.Exception: Assert failed: (= 5 10)

But instead you see a:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null (NativeException)

Here is a full backtrace:
http://pastie.org/628565

I want a way to run cuke4duke just like cucumber. It should also pick up jar files automatically. Example: --require lib

Some thoughts here too:
http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/961ca23e20db2830

I think we just need to require the unicode.rb file

I have two methods with the @before annotation, and I want the order to matter. How do I control the order of the invocations?

Adding cuke4duke mvn dependency leads to failing junit tests which have the annotation @Autowired. This behaviour is demonstrated in my fork (http://github.com/fabianbuch/cuke4duke) in the testclass PlainUnitTest. The field annotated with @Autowired stays null.

In CucumberMojo - only add cmd(jruby) to the exception's message if mvn was run with -e. Need to find out how to inspect that.

Java method signatures can be really long. We can use something similar to date formats. Example:

-Dcuke4duke.signaturePattern=%c.%m(%a)

• %qc: qualified class
• %c: unqualified class
• %m: method name
• %qa: qualified arguments
• %a: unqualified arguments
• %qt: qualified throws clause
• %t: unqualified throws clause

I don't see any way to pass a String in to cuke4duke to enable calling other steps indirectly.

I'm trying to add a custom formatter to my cuke4duke project following the instructions found here: http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/custom-formatters

I'm adding a --format WikiFormatter argument and it when run it returns:

Seems like the files in features/support is not load into the classpath somehow.

It's a much more catchy name. This would mean a whole new GitHub repo, but the history would be left intact...

If a steps class subclasses another steps class the @before annotated setUp method of the superclass is not invoked when a step method in the subclass is called.

I'm using cuke4duke with a setup similar to the Spring example. When trying to execute a specification, I get the following error:

As you can see, I have configured a custom Maven repository location. I am using JRuby 1.3.0 under Windows Vista (if it makes a difference).

Neither the .gem directory nor any subdirectories get created. Precreating .gem inside the Maven repository doesn't help.

Pico and Spring has it - look at ObjectFactory.addStepMother() and examples.

My cuke4duke master branch (used along with the cucumber master branch) has added support for a better usage formatter. This formatter reports all step definitions, and what steps that use them.

It also reports step definitions that aren't used.

Reporting what's not used relies on code in AbstractStepDefinition. ScalaStepDefinition should inherit from this in order to work with the support formatter. The following commit illustrates what needs to be done: 92fb52a

(Still too much of a Scala n00b to do it myself).

When a step class contains anonymous or inner classes, these classes get compiled to their proper .class files, e.g. BackendSteps$1.class
The Guice factory tries to instantiate those classes which is not possible.
I fixed this by wrapping the instantiation code in a try ... catch block, so that the Guice factory continues instead of cancelling.
The code is in my repository at http://github.com/nightscape/cuke4duke

Best regards
Martin

There is nothing!

/**
 * @parameter expression="${cucumber.cucumberOpts}"
 */
private String[] cucumberOpts;

....

if(cucumberOpts != null) {
            for (String opt : cucumberOpts) {
                allArgs.add(opt);
            }
        }

....

<configuration>
  <jrubyHome>...</jrubyHome>
  <cucumberOpts>
    <cucumberOpt>--language</cucumberOpt>
    <cucumberOpt>no</cucumberOpt>
    </cucumberOpts>
</configuration>

For Java developers, it would be much easier if cucumber_java provides hooks functionality , so that we can use hooks feature in java applications

Thanks,
Neema.

I thought that an @before("scenario") should only be ran before scenarios that had the @Scenario annotation. However, it seems like the @before method is ran before all scenarios.

When I pass system properties into maven via the -D parameter they should be available in my steps. Since the jvm is forked they aren't propagated. The java ant task that is used to run java makes it simple to fix this. Fix is at http://github.com/darrinholst/cuke4duke/commit/65d5115491c2fb54fe524151238f6aaa23680835

I tried using a multiline string and got the follwing...

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Sorry, cuke4duke doesn't know how to convert a line 1
[INFO] line 2 (class org.jruby.RubyObject) to type class java.lang.String (NativeException)
[INFO] cuke4duke/internal/StringConverter.java:43:in `convertObject'

I have a fix at http://github.com/darrinholst/cuke4duke/commit/1004d466c34b02d6d2b5f0036478736a7907bb0d which does a String.valueOf instead of just casting to a String. Not sure if this is the right way, but it worked for me.

Currently uses ...ant.taskdefs.Java to lauch jruby-jvm. Should be refactored into something more flexible in order to i.e. run with nailgun, etc.

Suggestions for better lightweight class/jvm launchers?

Should use >=

This should be done with a splash of Rake and ERb. Oc already has some code for this to generate Scala tratis on his branch.

Ola has created a simple gist that lays out the basics:

http://gist.github.com/191064

Kaare Nilsen suggested at the ROOTS conference that it should be possible to run scenarios as if they were JUnit tests. That would leverage existing tools like IDEs and build systems.

The idea:

@RunWith(CucumberJunit4Runner.class);
@Feature("features/jalla.feature") // optional - use convention if absent
public class JunitSpike {
  @Test
  public void mapsToScenario{};
}

These JUnit files could be generated

Just a straight "ant" fails with the following message:

The parent POM, cuke4duke POM and various example POMs have a fair bit of duplication. We should try to reduce some of this duplication - especially:

• versions
• scope

At the same time, we should be explicit about versions, but in as few places as possible. Not sure how to do this (don't understand maven well enough).

When using the @before to add a setup() you have to write it like this:
@before("")
public void setup(Object scenario) {
}

In most cases you want this:
@before()
public void setup() {
}

The spring example has a steps.xml file that tells Spring to load all classes annotated with @cuke4duke.Steps. However, this only loads the classes, they aren't registered with the StepMother. This is required in order for step defs in those classes to be discovered automatically.

This should also work outside a Spring environment (e.g. when running with PicoContainer).

We need a way to automatically discover all classes annotated with @cuke4duke.Steps, and then invoke StepMother.registerClass for each of those. This is because @given etc are only discovered for classes that have previously been registerClass'ed. A quick google scan indicates that this is possible, but not trivial (it involves scanning the classpath and whatnot). Any better suggestions?

The test for this is to remove the register_class(Java::simple.WorldSteps) line in the Spring example's env.rb file.

I tried to use the diffHashes method of the Table class like this: http://gist.github.com/184345

When I run the steps I get this error:

 [INFO]     When I add a table               
 [INFO]       | a | b | b2 | a1 |
 [INFO]       | 1 | 2 |    |    |
 [INFO]       Tables were not identical (RuntimeError)
 [INFO]       features/demo.feature:13:in `When I add a table'

The last two columns are gray (surplus)

Maven proxy setting are not passed to gem when bootstrapping using

mvn -Dcucumber.installGems=true cuke4duke:cucumber

I tried to set the environment variable http_proxy but this has no effect, at least on windows.

When not using the colorer, maybe a diff should look like:

Then I should see only the following quote in the list     # public void com.gaic.quoter.steps.QuoteListSteps.iShouldSeeOnlyTheFollowingQuoteInQuoteList(cuke4duke.Table)

The use of Kernel.exit in the cucumber executable script line 10 only seems to exit the jruby thread. In normal ruby this works because it stops the ruby vm. However in java, if there are server threads hanging around (say we started up jetty), then the cuke run will never end.

The ugly solution is to change the Kernel.exit to be java.lang.System.exit(failure ? 1 : 0)
Of course this doesn't work on normal ruby. I'd suggest that we defer to a library to shut down the system. And any individual language can implement it's hook as it sees fit.

For java this would be to override it with java.lang.System.exit which shuts down the whole JVM instead of just the ruby vm inside of the jvm.

If you agree to this approach, I will submit a patch.

@feature request
The current version of the plugin supports a single argument through the parameter -Dcucumber.args=VALUE

This can be somewhat limiting, and I propose something like syntax used by the maven-scala-plugin -DaddArgs=arg1|arg2|arg3

This will require parsing of the arguments by the pipe character.

We need a pending method or annotation that makes the cuke4duke steps yellow when they are pending.

Make it all an antlib and distribute with the cucumber core jar.

In my step definitions I need a WebClient for html unit , so I wondering what the best way to do this is,

I'm running the features inside of a spring container and I have a super abstract class that has a @before with a method

code at http://pastie.org/669991

then i get the following error message

http://pastie.org/669993

Am i doing something wrong in my design or is there something I am missing

When the maven plugin is building the classpath it tries to add the entries required for the test scope with the ${project.testClasspathElements} variable but that only works if you set @requiresDependencyResolution test. With this fixed you can now set the cucumber dependencies to test in the pom so they are not included in the final package.

fix is at http://github.com/darrinholst/cuke4duke/commit/f25b9a5b4dd76adb3ea999149b3ec693bf1b2dba

The scala plugin should use cuke4duke.internal.JRuby.raisePending to raise pending exceptions

I get a the following error when running mvn clean install on the latest cuke4duke from GitHub:

[WARNING] undefined method `available_step_definition' for #Cucumber::ClassSupport::ClassLanguage:0xea04d4 (NoMethodError)
