jsmestad-merb_cucumber

h1. merb_cucumber

Merb + Cucumber + Webrat testing stack. Builds upon David's work, but binds Webrat as a dependency to hopefully ensure a smooth upgrade for future Webrat releases. Also Factory_Girl generators will be added soon.

h2. Migrating to merb_cucumber 0.5.0

merb_cucumber 0.5.0 now requires cucumber 0.1.13, webrat 0.4.x, which introduces some breaking changes. If you were already using merb_cucumber, you'll need to do the following:

• Change the last line of bin/cucumber to be:

  Cucumber::CLI.execute ARGV

• Add a cucumber.yml to your Merb.root with the following contents:

  default: --format pretty features

If you experience any problems, please contact me (david) on github.

h2. Requirements

• merb-core >= 1.0.6.1
• cucumber >= 0.1.13
• webrat >= 0.4.0 (Required, but can use old session-type, see below)

h2. First Time

Inside your merb project root, run

$ merb-gen cucumber

For Webrat support, run

$ merb-gen cucumber --session-type webrat

This will also install a sample login feature that should pass if you're using merb-auth.

h2. Usage

To execute all the features run

$ rake features

h2. Notes

• When you are implementing the steps of an scenario, please use the new request test helper, if you try to use the dispatch_to method, it won't work as expected.
• Webrat methods other than 'visits' are now singular only.
