Hey Guys,

Ubuntu 9.10

Env: Ruby 1.9.1  
Rails 2.3.5  
RSpec 1.3.1  
Cucumber 0.6.1  
Cucumber-rails 0.2.3

I’m starting with BDD with Cucumber/RSpec.

After creating a rails app, I did script/generate rspec and cucumber.

First problem, I can’t run cucumber by its own, as Ryan B. does in  
his  
screencast.  
He freely runs “cucumber features -n” while I need to run “rake cucumber  
features -n”

What do I need to do, to have cucumber be called by rake without  
explicit  
telling rake to do it?

Second problem, when I try to run rake cucumber, it fails telling me  
that it  
requires “RubyGem test-unit \>= 1.2.3”  
Is it really? do I need to have this gem installed? The current  
test-unit is  
2.0.6.

thx!
