Cucumber reports in PDF

[Behdad]

Hi everyone,

I am very new to Cucumber, Ruby and Selenium. I have recently figured
out how to set up the environment and write and run very simple
projects.
I am trying to print my reports in PDF. As instructed by cucumber I
installed the prawn gem by saying:

gem install prawn

and it successfully installed.

I used the following command line trying to print:

cucumber --format pdf --out MyReport.pdf

I also tried

bundle exec cucumber --format pdf --out MyReport.pdf

But I get the following error:

undefined method `text' for #<Prawn::Document:0x1459e18>
Error creating formatter: pdf (NoMethodError)
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-1.1.3/lib/cucumber/

`<top (required)>'
C:/Ruby193/bin/cucumber:19:in `load'

I have used the following sample code to generate a PDF using prawn
and it worked:

require 'prawn'

Prawn::Document.generate("test.pdf") do
font "#{Prawn::BASEDIR}/data/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf"
text "this is a test " * 100
end

So I think prawn has installed correctly.

My Gem file looks like this:

source :rubygems

group :test do
gem 'cucumber', '1.1.3'
gem 'rspec-expectations', '2.7.0'
gem 'selenium-webdriver', '2.20.0'
gem 'prawn', '0.12.0'
end

and my env looks like:

RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.16
- RUBY VERSION: 1.9.3 (2012-02-16 patchlevel 125) [i386-mingw32]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: C:/Ruby193/bin/ruby.exe
- EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby193/bin
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:

- x86-mingw32
- GEM PATHS:

- C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/.gem/ruby/1.9.1

- :update_sources => true
- :verbose => true
- :benchmark => false
- :backtrace => false
- :bulk_threshold => 1000
- REMOTE SOURCES:

and prawn is installed in:

C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/prawn-0.12.0

Anyone please can help me fix this?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Behdad.

You need prawn and prawn-layout 0.8.4.

Uninstall your current prawn(s) and install those versions:

gem uninstall prawn
gem install prawn --version 0.8.4
gem install prawn-layout --version 0.8.4

The pdf formatter has been removed from master, and will not be in the
next release - it has been moved to a separate gem.
See https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/issues/241

Aslak,

Sorry as I am a new in this area. When I try to install the specified version it comes up with error saying that it can't find it in any repository.

C:\>gem install prawn --version 0.8.4

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'prawn' (= 0.8.4) in any repository

ERROR:  Possible alternatives: prawn

Is there something that I am doing wrong.

Thank you.

You've got a problem installing the prawn gem. The best place to ask for help with that would be here: http://help.rubygems.org/
