Last thing.  
start an empty project and see whether you get an error too. Ex:

→ rails tmp  
 → cd tmp  
 → ruby script/generate rspec  
 → ruby script/generate cucumber (look whether it creates all the files)

if not something’s wrong with the gem maybe or …???

Rodrigo,

In my initial reply, I was trying to say to Christoph (obviously not  
very clearly) is that you don’t have to manually create the  
cucumber.rb file. script/generate cucumber will do that for you.

Can you switch back to Ruby 1.8.7 (or 1.8.6) via RVM or some other  
utility and determine if you can run script/generate cucumber without  
issue?

Chris/Eric,

Thanks both of you.

Well, what happens is that I was using RubyMine which promptly asks you,  
if  
you want to install gems that are missing or just install gems from  
their  
interface.

It ends up that RubyMine doesn’t correctly install the gems. When I  
tried to  
list the available actions for script/generate it didn’t show me the  
cucumber option.

I removed all cucumber related gems from my environment and them did the  
install through sudo gem install cucumber.

After that, all the necessary actions were available to the  
script/generate.

[]'s  
Rodrigo D.
