Newbie: errors getting started with cucumber

Testing RSpec
1

Just getting started with Ruby and Rails, I wanted to check out BDD and
cucumber seemed like a good place to start. Let me know if this stuff
is too new for a newbie and I’ll wander off.

I’ve installed the following:
sudo gem install cucumber
sudo gem install rspec rspec-rails webrat

$ rake features
(in /Library/WebServer/Documents/todolist)
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
gem_original_require': no such file to load -- webrat/rspec-rails (MissingSourceFile) Failed to load features/support/env.rb from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in require’

from /Users/sarah/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.1.13/bin/cucumber:6
rake aborted!

I even tried installing webrat as a plugin which seemed to be a solution
proposed in a previous post:
script/plugin install git://github.com/brynary/webrat.git

but in either case I see the same errors.

I’m on Mac OS 10.5.6 if that matters.

Thanks in advance,

Try pasting this into config/environments/test.rb

#config/environments/test.rb
#config.gem ‘rspec-rails’, :source => “http://gems.github.com”, :lib =>
‘spec/rails’
#config.gem ‘cucumber’, :version => ‘0.1.12’, :source => "
http://gems.github.com"
config.gem ‘webrat’ , :source => “http://gems.github.com”
#config.gem ‘nokogiri’ , :source => “http://gems.github.com”

You need a newer webrat - for example gem install aslakhellesoy-webrat

Hi Sarah,
I am a newbie as well and followed the wiki page but continue to get the
error -
no such file to load – webrat/rspec-rails (MissingSourceFile)

I am using webrat 0.3.2 cucumber 0.1.13 activerecord 2.1.1

Thoughts ?

Hi Aslak,

I tried the command but I get the following error -

gem install aslakhellesoy-webrat
ERROR: could not find gem aslakhellesoy-webrat locally or in a
repository

Do I need to make some configuration changes for finding the gem ?

More info on my setup -

Windows Vista home edition , webrat 0.3.2, cucumber 0.1.13, activerecord
2.1.1, rspec - 1.1.11, rspec-rails 1.1.11, nokogiri 1.0.7, hoe 1.8.2

Thanks for your help !

Thanks … I was able to complete the setup on my Windows XP machine.
rake features is failing now !
So I can continue with writing the steps.

Thanks that help me out. It installed 0.3.2.2 which works, whereas “sudo
gem install webrat” installed 0.3.4 which yields the error message “no
such file to load – webrat/rspec-rails”

Hi Fernando. For an answer, check out the thread titled “Which webrat
gem should be used?” which I started on January 15th.
