Removed features

Bugfixes

  • Non-threadsafe database connections shared between threads (#166 Matt Wynne)

v1.1.1 (2011-10-03)

Removed features

The cucumber:feature generator has been removed. The reasoning behind this is the same as for removing web_steps.rb, paths.rb and selectors.rb in v1.1.0.

v1.1.0 (2011-09-28)

Removed features

The following files will no longer be generated if you are running rails generate cucumber:install:

  • features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb
  • features/support/paths.rb
  • features/support/selectors.rb

The reason behind this is that the steps defined in web_steps.rb leads people to write scenarios of a very imperative nature that are hard to read and hard to maintain. Cucumber scenarios should not be a series of steps that describe what a user clicks. Instead, they should express what a user does. Example:

Given I have signed up as "[email protected]"

with a Step Definition that perhaps looks like this:

Given /^I have signed up as "([^"]*)"$/ do |email|
  visit(signup_path)
  fill_in('Email', with: email)
  fill_in('Password', with: 's3cr3t')
  fill_in('Password Confirmation', with: 's3cr3t')
  click_button('Sign up')
end

Moving user interface details from the scenarios and down to the step definitions makes scenarios much easier to read. If you change the user interface you only have to change a step definition or two instead of a lot of scenarios that explicitly describe how to sign up.

You can learn more about the reasoning behind this change at the following links:

You can learn more about what Capybara has to offer in Capybara's README.

  • RSpec1/RSpec2/Test-Unit/Mini-Uint
  • Webrat/CapyBara

Small bugfix release

Bugfixes

  • Made sure database_cleaner is always set up as a dependency in config/environments/cucumber.rb. (Aslak Hellesøy)

This is the first release of cucumber-rails, which was factored out of cucumber. We're calling it 0.2.0 just because we did some prereleases in the 0.1 series, and to celebrate that cucumber-rails now supports Capybara as an alternative to Webrat.

UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS CUCUMBER SETUP

  1. Remove your features/support/version_check.rb

  2. Remove your features/step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb If you have added your own custom step definitions to this file, put them in a different file under features/step_definitions

  3. run ruby script/generate cucumber --help to see what options you have.

  4. run ruby script/generate cucumber - plus whatever options you think fit for you. Answer "n" (no) when asked to overwrite paths.rb. Answer "y" (yes) when asked to overwrite other files, but do "d" (diff) first. If you have edits in some of these files that you want to keep, store the diff in a temporary file and reapply after you have overwritten the file. ALso consider adding your custom code to another file that won't be overwritten the next time you upgrade.

    Many people have edits in their env.rb file. This is something you should try to avoid in the future. Instead, keep your custom setup in a different file under features/support - Cucumber loads all files under features/**/*.rb anyway.

    If you have a Spork setup, see the end of this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/475385cc26377215

  • Added MIME type parameter to attach file step definition (Felix Flores)
  • Added check when including ActiveSupport::Testing::SetupAndTeardown for older Rails versions (Jeremy Durham)
