It should be possible to start cuke4nuke so that when the server starts, it's being debugged by Visual Studio so you can set breakpoints in your step definitions.

See this blog post for a neat hack to work around this for now:
http://www.richardlawrence.info/2010/01/12/debugging-cuke4nuke-step-definitions/

My suggestion in the comments for that blog post is to use the /DebugExe command-line switch for of VS: http://www.olegsych.com/2007/08/debugexe-command-line-switch-in-visual-studio/

Not sure if we need this

Hello Richard,

  I followed your screencast example to setup the cuke4nuke.  I used ruby window installer 
  (“rubyinstaller-1.8.6-p383-rc1”) and the step install cuke4nuke failed for me.  I am using
  Windows Vista Business premium (SP2).  Visual Studio 2008 .NET 3.5

  Here is the actual error when I try to execute the install cuke4nuke

  C:\Ruby>gem install cuke4nuke --no-ri --no-rdoc

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Add support for the use of argument transforms in the Given/When/Then regular expressions.

Add methods such as RowHashes

I tried using Cuke4Nuke to drive tests using Watin. Watin requires that the current thread have it's ApartmentState set to STA (http://watin.sourceforge.net/apartmentstateinfo.html).

The only way I've got this to work is adding the STAThreadAttribute to the static Main method in the Servers Program class.

Is it possible to add this to Cuke4Nuke, or have it configurable for the Server?

I am trying to use .NET 4 in a cuke4nuke project, so that i can integrate it with awesomium (http://awesomium.com/), and be able to do headless testing assertions, but the problem i face is that by default awesomium relies on 4.0 only, while cuke4nuke has issues with 4.0:

here is the error message i'm getting:

This is just because I'm too lazy to switch from OSX when I want to work on / play with Cuke4Nuke.

Is this even possible? I think Mono supports the version of C# we're using, but I'm not sure how we're read the .SLN files to make the build command. Thoughts?

Try this undefined step:

Given I have "(.*)" cukes in my belly

When Cuke4Nuke prints snippets I get the following error:

I'm not 100% positive that this is a Cuke4Nuke bug. It could also be a bug in the ruby json gem, or in Cucumber's wire protocol. If that's the case, please close this issue and create an issue in Cucumber that links back to this one.

If it is a Cuke4Nuke bug and it turns out to be related to the .NET JSON library, I just came across this one: http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/01/Json-NET - it might (or might not) solve it. In any case it seems fast :-)

see http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/14128b5a9e04dc66

This step:

Feature: UTF-8 bug

  Scenario: the bug
    Given Hellesøy has some scandinavian characters

And this step definition:

[Given(@"^(.*) has some (.*) characters$")]
public void IHaveSomeInternationalCharacters(string who, string what)
{
}

Gives me the following output:

Given Hellesøy has some_scandinavian_n characters

(I used italic to show the highlighted parameters). This is because the byte_offset for each capture group is incorrectly calculated. It reports character offset, but needs to report byte offset (some characters are 2 bytes). Cuke4Duke does this correctly - see http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cuke4duke/blob/master/cuke4duke/src/main/java/cuke4duke/internal/language/StepArgument.java

So that users can do their own logic around scenario titles, tags, etc.

Currently the wire_language is doing this, but it should instead ask the server side to provide snippets. This requires a change in both Cucumber and Cuke4Nuke.

I’m considering either adopting this project or using some of its code in another. Before I do that I’d like to know what license applies.

Similar to NUnit, load My.dll.config files automatically.

Adding a Background section breaks Cuke4Nuke. The following Script works OK from Cucumber directly but not from Cuke4Nuke

Feature: Hello World
In order to ensure that my installation works
As a Developer
I want to run a quick Cuke4Nuke test

Background:
    Given The Greeting Separator is ,       

Scenario: Hello World
    Given The Action is Hello
    When The Subject is World
    Then The Greeting is Hello, World.

Scenario Outline: Hello World (more complicated)
    Given The Action is <action>
    When The Subject is <subject>
    Then The Greeting is <greeting>.

    Examples:
    |action|subject|greeting|
    |Hello|Mike|Hello, Mike|
    |Jump|Tom|Jump, Tom|
    |Shout|Jim|Shout, Jim|

When executed with Cuke4Nuke, it prints:

d:\work\Cuke4NukeExample>Cuke4Nuke bin\Debug\Cuke4NukeExample.dll
Feature: Hello World
In order to ensure that my installation works
As a Developer
I want to run a quick Cuke4Nuke test

Screencasts have been a big part of the easy adoption of RSpec and Cucumber in the Ruby community. I think we need a screencast, as soon as Cuke4Nuke is ready, that people can use to (a) see how easy and fun it is to use, (b) give them something to refer to when they're first getting going themselves.

Is there any way to use Cuke4Nuke on Framework 4.0, the platform is a constraint in our current scenario. I keep bumping into the "Unable to contact the wire server" message.

Hi,

after installing cuk4nuke following instructions, I am getting this error when trying to run a test:

Given a logged on agent

What am I missing?

This may not be needed if Richard's new launcher launches both the server and cucumber, but here goes...

VS fails to build the assembly if Cuke4Nuke.Server is running. The server has to be stopped and restarted, which means lots of switching and very disrupted flow. Not sure how to implement this though. Just close this ticket if the other solution works better.

There are currently too many manual steps involved in a new Cuke4Nuke release. Update gem/Rakefile to fix this.

When building a gem...

• Update version in .NET AssemblyInfo files to match gem version to users know which version of Cuke4Nuke.Framework to reference
• Build .NET assemblies
• Then, build gem

This requires a change to the wire protocol.

We should be able to recognize simple types from the regular expression character class that is being used.

First thought example:

[Given("^I push the button labeled (\d+)$")]
public static void PushButton(int value) {
    calculator.Push(value);
}

Second thought example:

This example assumes that transform support has been written. In that case, we can provide built-in transforms for the built-in .NET types (int, float, double, DateTime) etc...

[Given("^I am late for an important date on (date .*)$")]
public static void LateForADateOn(DateTime date) {
}
