I've successfully installed Cucumber-JVM on my MacBook Pro :-). Now that I have it installed, how do I go about using it?

TEST ENVIRONMENT
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03-384-10M3425)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02-384, mixed mode)

OS
Mac OS X, version 10.6.8

OUTPUT OF INSTALLATION

Note: That I've removed a lot of the extra "noise" from the output (stuff like downloading messages and some INFO messages). An observation: while scanning for projects, the following warning was encountered: [WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin is missing. @ line 45, column 21. Is it something to be concerned about?

rstagner$ mvn clean install

Good job! I'll add some examples soon, but in the meanwhile:

* Create a new maven project
* Add cucumber-java (which you should have in your local maven repo)
as a dependency
* Write a cucumber feature and save it under
src/test/resources/hello_cucumber.feature
* Write a JUnit test class and put it under
src/test/java/your/pakkage/hello_cucumber_Test.java
* Annotate it with: @RunWith(Cucumber.class) and
@Feature("hello_cucumber.feature") at the class level
* mvn test

This should print some missing stepdefs, which you can put inside a
POJO under src/test/java/your/pakkage/SomeStepdefs.java
Run mvn test again.

Let me know how it goes

Hi Aslak,

I guess I'm going to need a little help with this step. To include the dependency, what should I add to my pom.xml file (groupId, artifactId, etc) ?

You'll find the details in cucumber-java's pom

<groupId>cucumber</groupId>
<artifactId>java</artifactId>
<version>0.4.3-SNAPSHOT</version>

When we start publishing jars in Maven central we'll change groupId to
cucumber.cukes.info and the version number to something else -
probably 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT for starters.

I think I've run into a bit of a snag. When I execute mvn test, I receive the following error message

As outlined in your instructions, I've created a feature file under src/test/resources and labeled it "hello.feature". It's content is as follows:

Feature: Say Hello to Cucumber-JVM

Scenario: Saying hello

And, I've created a JUnit test case under src/test/java/mypackage-name and labeled it "HelloTest.java". The contents of this file is as follows:

package com.xen.qa.hello;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import cucumber.junit.Cucumber;
import cucumber.junit.Feature;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Feature("hello.feature")
public class HelloTest {

}

I'm thinking I've overlooked something, but I'm not sure what it may be.

Ah yes. Cucumber needs to be able to instantiate your stepdef classes. This job is delegated to PicoContainer (by yours truly), Spring or Guice. Which one to use depends on what's available on your classpath. You probably have none.

Try changing your cucumber-java dependency to cucumber-picocontainer and try again.

worked just fine. So, I guess I should stick with picocontainer? I guess I'm not clear on the potential use of Spring or Guice with respect to the tests.

If your application code doesn't use a DI framework, stick with
PicoContainer - it's the fastest, simplest and least intrusive one. If
your app uses a DI container to wire up application objects, go with
the one that matches your app.

Personally I think both Spring and Guice are unnecessary bloat, but
many people are using them, so it makes sense to support them.
