I'm brand new to cucumber so bear with me. I'm trying to write
features against Makandra Aegis (http://github.com/makandra/aegis)
role based permissions. When a user doesn't have access to a page, it
raises an Aegis Exception. I'm trying to test that this exception is
in fact shown, but the cucumber test fails BECAUSE the exception is
thrown.
How do I go about dealing with exceptions in cucumber?

If you use RSpec:
# http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.2.9/classes/Spec/Matchers.html#M000176
lambda { code_that_you_expect_to_fail }.should raise_error(ErrorClass,
/error message/)
If you use Test::Unit:
# http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/classes/Test/Unit/Assertions.html#M004508
assert_raise(ErrorClass) { code_that_you_expect_to_fail }
