[Cucumber] Directory Layout

I had a relatively flat layout and wanted to group like features
together so I made it more hierarchical:

features/
messaging/
main_screen.feature
message_page.feature
steps/
main_screen.rb
messaging_steps.rb

This may be just my boneheadedness, but when I do:

cucumber features/messaging -r features/support/env.rb

These run, but none of the steps are matched. It seems the step
matchers are not expected to be where I put them.

Questions:

  • Is there a more sensible layout?
  • Is there an easier way than -r features/support/env.rb to get the
    machinist plugin to load?

Thanks

That ONLY loads features/support/env.rb and not any of the step
definition files. Try this:

cucumber features/messaging -r features

Yup. That was it. Thanks!

Just to clarify…

If you pass no --require switches to cucumber, it will guess where to
find
.rb files to load
If you pass one or more it will stop guessing
