use Cucumber in other programming languages

[ik]

Hello,

Is there a way to use cucumber in other languages without reimplementing the entire code base in that specific language ?

Thanks,
Ido

Hello,

Cucumber has the concept of a wire protocol to allow this.

Take a look at Cuke4Duke (uses it for Java)
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cuke4duke/ and Cuke4nuke (for
.Net) http://github.com/richardlawrence/Cuke4Nuke

Thanks, but is there a way to use it using compiled languages and not VM based languages such as C ?

I don't see why not. You will need to create your own implementation
of the Wire protocol.

Under the covers, you start a server (In C) and cucumber will send
messages to the server for example starting a scenario, a step, a
verification and expects the server to return the result.

Take a look at the wiki

Hi Ido,

Please let us know if you do implement a wire server for another
platform - we like getting Cucumber to work with new languages :) -
and come back here and ask if you need any clarification about the
protocol.

Cuke4Nuke, especially its features[1] are probably a good reference
for you.

Did not think otherwise :) I do not have time for now to implement it, but I do want to do it when I'll have some time for it.

The wire protocol uses a TCP socket for communication, as you can
clearly read in the cucumber documentation
(http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/wire-protocol). I wrote
a spike solution (the example works, but since it is a spike it needs
to be rewritten from scratch using TDD/BDD) to see if cucumber can be
used to call C++ steps. I'm still completing the build system: it
compiles on my Ubuntu 9.10 with Boost 1.40 installed system-wide and
GTest trunk installed in /usr/local. I wanted to post a message to
this mailing list when the build system was working and I had time to
write some documentation, but since you asked, you can find it here:

I'm trying to reply to this thread since yesterday, but Google Groups
does not seem to accept my posts. I hope this time it works.

I wrote a spike solution to see if Cucumber can be used to call C++
steps. The basic example works, but I have not implemented every
cucumber feature. It HAS TO be rewritten from scratch using TDD/BDD.
I'm still completing the build system: for now it compiles on my

Cuke4Duke doesn't use the wire protocol, only Cuke4Nuke does.
