I’m having the following problem:
With the format as html, the output of cucumber stops coloring
successful
steps green after step #100. This last line in the HTML is:
<script type="text/javascript">stepPassed(100)</script>
Steps 101 -n are colored grey. The tag is not closed but all
steps
are displayed. When running with ‘format --pretty’ everything works
fine
and all steps are colored green. This is happening with jruby 1.1.4 on
OS X
and RedHat Linux.
Any ideas? Could this be a bug?

It could. Please raise a ticket and attach the generated HTML.

Hi
So I built a custom formatter as the default html provided seems to
lack few information (like number of scenarios that passed,failed,
skipped …)
I cannot seem to load my custom scenario
I called it my_formatter.rb and class is MyFormatter.
I tried cucumber -r my_formatter mytest.feature
I tried cucumber -r my mytest.feature
and no matter what I am getting the help menu with invalid format…
also, is there a place to understand all the available hooks and order
they are called? Looking at the html, pretty and progress , I can see
a lot of available hooks with some that requires to call an accept
method…
Any ideas?
Thanks
Emmanuel

Is the explanation of --format not clear? Have you tried:
cucumber -r my_formatter -f MyFormatter mytest.feature

What do you mean by hooks? This?

#accept is part of the internal API to traverse the internal structure
of
features. It’s using the visitor pattern. Are you familiar with that?

Yes, I tried that too and it is not working still. I started to digg
in the cli.rb and clearly there is a registration process happening in
the build_formatter_broadcaster.
But somehow it is not finding my formatter … trying to debug it more

Sorry I should have been more clear about the hooks… I meant the
formatter hooks. I see the main one used in the pretty_formatter and
that are called by the executor. But It seems in the html_formatter
that you are even using some other hook (likely those are called
during the tree parsing … just a guess) but cannot see all the one
that are available and when. I am actually writing formatter to
understand the order of calls.
#accept is part of the internal API to traverse the internal
structure of features. It’s using the visitor pattern. Are you
familiar with that?
Yes I am and notice you use that pattern but I am not familiar with
treetop. But seems a bit complicated for a custom reporter to have to
mess with that. the HTML Report clearly will break without those calls
at the right place…
so a simple diagram would hel understanding how calls are made. Once I
am able to rrun that custom report, I can try to make one and send it
to you to add to the wiki
Thanks

You’re right. And one of my first goals is to make it simpler. I started
to
investigate a new internal design for Cucumber today that will make
several
things easier - among them custom formatters. More info as I make
progress.

Did you try -f Cucumber::Formatters::MyFormatter ?
That should have worked.

Yep works as well. Now that I have all the different possible hooks
printed and ordering of events,. I can work on creating my template
If you are interested I ll send you some of the improvments. I am
using a combination of rspec and cucumber as both have good
information style but could be improved slightly
Emmanuel
OK, I think I figured out the problem.
I had the following
module Cucumber
module Formatters
class MyFormatter
As soon I as removed it from that module, then it started to work. I
am not seeing different call and steps in the visitor printing …
maybe a nice simple example of create a formatter would have helped
thanks
