Hey everybody

I came here through the RSpec Book, so I grant myself to ask something
about Cucumber here. ;)

I'm still very new to the topic and read a lot of different opinions
about how to do great Cucumber scenarios. Still, I'm a bit unsure as I
don't have any experience in using it. So I hoped to be able to look
into a few open source projects that use Cucumber the way it was meant
to be (without relying on the web_steps.rb etc.)?

Thanks a lot for hints.
Josh

The Rspec codebase is itself a great example of how to use Cucumber
correctly, IMO.

Are you new to TDD entirely? If yes, then I'd suggest you come up to
speed on that first. In my experience, many codebases substitute
cucumber specs for TDD which is a bad idea.

Best,
Sidu.

You mean this?

https://github.com/danlucraft/redcar

Having troubles to find the .feature files, though.

By the way, a Rails project would be best... :)

redcar uses it, or at least used to, with good results.

You can ask, but you'll probably have a more well versed
Cucumber-using audience on the Cucumber list:

As others have pointed out, RSpec has some good cucumber scenarios. Cucumber itself has awesome scenarios. For API-based stuff, Chargify.com has their API described through scenarios (http://docs.chargify.com/api-adjustments). And check out https://www.relishapp.com/ to see a ton of open source projects that use Cucumber for documentation.
