[Cucumber 0.2] Failure to use should

I have a step definition like this:

Then “the account should be created” do
account = Account.find_by_name(“my shiny new account”)
p account.class
account.should_not be_blank
end

When running this step, I got the error message:

Account(id: integer, name: string, state: string, next_renewal_at: date,
created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, full_domain: string,
deleted_at:
datetime, subscription_discount_id: integer, subscription_plan_id:
integer)

And the account should be created              #

features/step_definitions/create_account_steps.rb:31
undefined method be_blank' for #<ActionController::Integration::Session:0x349994c> (NoMethodError) features/create_account.feature:10:inAnd the account should be
created’

I print out the account class, which is a AR::B. Why cucumber tells me
it is
a ActionController::Integration::Session?

I use cucumber 0.2 and rspec 1.2 with Rails 2.3.2

Thanks

The #be_blank method is defined by a module under ‘rspec/matchers’. This
module is automatically included in
ActionController::Integration::Session
if you have the following in your env.rb:

require ‘spec/expectations’

Do you? If you just upgraded to Cucumber 0.2 you should probably
rebootstrap
Cucumber with:

script/generate cucumber

Aslak

This is my env.rb

Sets up the Rails environment for Cucumber

ENV[“RAILS_ENV”] ||= “test”
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(FILE) +
‘/…/…/config/environment’)
require ‘cucumber/rails/world’
require ‘cucumber/formatters/unicode’ # Comment out this line if you
don’t
want Cucumber Unicode support
Cucumber::Rails.use_transactional_fixtures

require ‘webrat’

Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :rails
config.application_address= “myapp.local”
end

require ‘cucumber/rails/rspec’
require ‘webrat/core/matchers’

The only thing different is:
config.application_address= “myapp.local”

I tried to comment out this line and it didn’t help anyway.

I did script/generate cucumber and it didn’t help. :frowning:

I thought be_something is actually handled by rspec class Be. be_blank
essentially asks the object blank? predicate. Not that there is a
“be_blank”
method declared anywhere.

Anyway, require ‘spec/expectations’ doesn’t solve the problem. I will
look
into this. Thanks

Right, you need to add
require ‘spec/expectations’

because Cucumber doesn’t know about RSpec’s matchers by default.

Just did a little bit exploration. Found out
GitHub - carlosbrando/remarkable: Simplifying tests! plugin I use
actually
cause the problem. This plugin also broke spec:server:start rake task as
well. :frowning:

Just for reference, whoever have problem with rspec, remarkable and
cucumber,
try this installation settings:

config/environments/test.rb

config.gem “rspec”, :lib => false
config.gem “rspec-rails”, :lib => false
config.gem “remarkable_rails”, :lib => false

spec/spec_helper.rb

require “spec/rails”
require “remarkable_rails”

If you still have problems, be sure to open a ticket on Remarkable bug
tracking:
