Running pickle

[danigb]

I'm a little bit desperate: i've trying to run pickle in my computer
(i've tryied both ubuntu and macosx) without success. Even i
downloaded the source code of the railscast episode #186 but i gives
me the "undefined step" error when i do "cucumber fectures".

In my current project, this is the feature:

Feature: Display Contents
In order to see the contents
As a user
I want to see and filter the contents of the web

Scenario: Show content
Given a user exists
When I go to the show page of that content

And this is the output:

Scenario: Show content # features/
display_contents.feature:6
Given a user exists # features/
display_contents.feature:7
When I go to the show page of that content # features/
step_definitions/webrat_steps.rb:15

1 scenario (1 undefined)
2 steps (1 skipped, 1 undefined)
0m0.003s

You can implement step definitions for undefined steps with these
snippets:

Given /^a user exists$/ do
pending
end


Obviosly, i have defined (and working) a content model and
contents_controller classes

there's something wrong, but i can't find what
any help would be nice
thanks

It looks like pickle isn't being loaded.

I assume you've run scrip/generate pickle.

* Does your step_definitions/ folder contsain pickle_steps.rb?
* Does your support/env.rb require 'pickle/world'?

Yes i did everything. In fact i clone the repo of the picke railscast
and it doesnt work at my (both!!) machines.
Even more, if i add the "Given(/a user exists/) do..." definition
nside the pickle_steps file, it works!!
weird!

thanks for answer
cheers

Very strange. Would like to get to the bottom of it. What versions of
ruby/relevant gems are you using on the os x box?

maybe i should upgrade the ruby i use...

[Ian White]

Before upgrading ruby (1.8.6 should be fine) could you try making the
test app as I described. That way we'll know if it's peculiar to your
system, or your app setup.

Cheers,
Ian

[danigb]

Test app you described? I dont know what you mean...

[Ian White]

Oops, sorry, wrong thread!

http://groups.google.com/group/pickle-cucumber/browse_thread/thread/75ef677c5c94fee1

contains a description of how to get a test app going with pickle and
factory_girl. I did this primarily to assure myself that pickle was
factory_girl friendly. If you could look at that with a view to the
differences b/n your app and it, I'll be able to track the problem
down quicker.

Cheers,
Ian

[danigb]

Great! Thanks for the link.

And after some more experimentation with your link and some other
sutff:
1) the reference app works perfectly!! great!!
2) i made a mistake in the episode-168 clone because i didnt setup the
test database!!!!!! arrgggg!!! now, with rake db:test:prepare
everything in the episode clone works!
3) my application feature continue refuse to working...

i'm doing more test and i will keep you informed
thanks for the support!!!

cheers

Ok, i think its "solved". In fact, i don't know exactly what was going
on...
I've destroyed and reinstalled cucumber in my own project, setup again
the test database... and it worked
so, thanks a LOT for listen to me!!

cheers

[Ian White]

No probs.
