Textmate Bundle for Cucumber
September 16, 2009
0 Comments
This is a fork of the rspec-story-tmbundle.
The goal is to keep the same functionality that the original bundle had but make it compatible with Cucumber and also take advantage of the benefits that Cucumber offers.
So far the basic file switching and syntax highlighting is working. You can also run a feature. (See below.)
File creation and more advanced step generation commands have not yet been ported fully. Feel free to help out. :)
If you are doing ruby development with webrat you may also want the webrat bundle.

Robby on Rails : 20 articles on Cucumber and a free beverage recipe!

The Cucumber project describes itself as a suite that, “lets software development teams describe how software should behave in plain text. The text is written in a business-readable domain-specific language and serves as documentation, automated tests and development-aid – all rolled into one format.“

Using Cucumber to Integrate Distributed Systems and Test Messaging
April 16, 2009
0 Comments
One interesting use of Cucumber is to facilitate integration and communication between different systems. At my last job we had several distributed systems that communicated via a messaging broker. It was very important that the messages sent between the different systems be kept in sync and handled appropriately. For example, System A needed to know the exact message format and queue that System B was going to be using, and vice versa. This type of integration between systems is very error prone and when something goes awry the problems can be very hard to track down. In order to ensure both systems were on the same page we used the exact same Cucumber feature in both systems but had the step definitions verify different things on the respective systems. In this post I’ll walk through a quick example illustrating the tools and techniques we used to do this.

RSpec, Cucumber, Webrat, RCov and Autotest are a powerful combination of tools for testing your Rails app. Unfortunately getting them to all work nicely together can be a bit of challenge. I recently configured a development environment from scratch on OS X 10.5 Leopard and kept track of all of the little details. (via claytonlz.com)

Testing outbound emails with Cucumber – Dr Nic
My testimonial for Cucumber still stands even in 2009. In fact I promise to let you know when I don’t think Cucumber is the bees-knees of integration testing. I love the step-by-step English instructions of user usage scenarios backed by a simple Ruby DSL for describing real actions on your application for each step.
