Cucunber - does not honour here-document syntax?

Testing RSpec

something_steps.rb

TEST = ‘A constant’

puts TEST

SCRIPT <<-‘END_SCRIPT’
…
END_SCRIPT

Then /…/ do

$ cucumber -r features features/lib/something.feature
A constant

Is this a deliberate limitation in Cucumber or a bug?

It’s Ruby, not Cucumber that parses .rb files. (Even if you have ruby
code
that uses the Cucumber API in them).

You have a Ruby syntax error. You missed the = sign after SCRIPT :wink:
