[SOLVED] How do you use cucumber with zeus?

How do you use cucumber with zeus?

When I start up zeus, it does not offer zeus cucumber as one of the possible commands. Others seem to get this by default; At least I have seen a couple zeus write-ups that show the output from zeus start including zeus cucumber, and they don't say anything about that having been special or required extra configuration.

I don't really even know where to start to troubleshoot this; I have googled and searched here for "use cucumber with zeus." I get no setup discussions. The only results I get are from people who seem to take for granted that it should be there, and are investigating problems with it not functioning correctly.

Solution

You should use this custom plan file from Zeus. Save it as custom_plan.rb at the root of your application:

require 'zeus/rails'                   

# 1. Add the cucumber methods (below) to your custom plan (or take this file if
# you don't have an existing custom_plan).
#
# 2. Add the following line to the test_environment section of your zeus.json:
#
#   "cucumber_environment": {"cucumber": []}

class CucumberPlan < Zeus::Rails         
  def cucumber_environment
    ::Rails.env = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'test'
    require 'cucumber/rspec/disable_option_parser'
    require 'cucumber/cli/main'
    @cucumber_runtime = Cucumber::Runtime.new
  end

  def cucumber(argv=ARGV)
    cucumber_main = Cucumber::Cli::Main.new(argv.dup)
    had_failures = cucumber_main.execute!(@cucumber_runtime)
    exit_code = had_failures ? 1 : 0
    exit exit_code
  end
end

Zeus.plan = CucumberPlan.new
