Using cucumber and bdd is just fun. Shoulda have used it earlier … Sorry, I need to write that

When you use cucumber (at the beginning) you always have to run

cucumber features

in your console to run all your features. Or you specify one by running

cucumber features/session.feature

There are some more ways but have a look at the documentation for that.

Ok, back to topic. I want to include my cucumber features in autotest. No big deal about that. As usual, just read the f****** manual -> http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/autotest-integration.

Just paste

export AUTOFEATURE=true

in your .bashprofile, .bashrc or whatever you use.

As you can read in another blog post of mine I use growl to notify about failing and passing tests. How to get this for cucumber features? And again … rtfm Here we go! Just install the cucumber_growl plugin in your application and it just works. (I linked my fork because I want to use my autotest images). As with every external repository I use braid to keep track of it.

That’s all. Now autotest includes your cucumber features and growl notifies you about the results. Have fun with bdd!
