uninitialized constant User (NameError)

[martins]

Hi,

User is available in console in both test and development
environments.
But for some reason I get a NameError when running script/cucumber.

$ script/cucumber features/step_definitions/
main_view_descriptions.feature
And I´m logged in as a user # features/
step_definitions/main_view_steps.rb:5
uninitialized constant User (NameError)
./features/step_definitions/main_view_steps.rb:6:in `/^I0264m
logged in as a user$/'
features/step_definitions/main_view_descriptions.feature:8:in
`And I´m logged in as a user'


## main_view_steps.rb
Given /^I´m logged in as a user$/ do
@user = User.create(:name => "martin")
end


## Testing from console
$ ruby script/console test
Loading test environment (Rails 2.3.3)
>> @user = User.create(:name => "martin")
=> #<User id: 4, name: "martin", created_at: "2009-08-01 08:11:51",
updated_at: "2009-08-01 08:11:51">


*** LOCAL GEMS ***

cucumber (0.3.92)
rails (2.3.3
rspec (1.2.8)
rspec-rails (1.2.7.1)




Any idea what might be wrong? Cucumber works in test-environment,
right?


Cheers,
Martins

$ script/cucumber features/step_definitions/

You have features under step_definitions? Only ruby files are supposed to go there. When you run like this, nothing under features/support will get loaded (and therefore not even Rails gets loaded, and none of stuff under app)

Move all your feature files to features/*feature and you should be fine.

See --help for --require for details.

HTH,

If you have a recent setup of cucumber you should have a "cucumber" environment that uses the same db as the "test" db, but that sounds unrelated to your problem.
 

Cheers,
Martins
