my first Cucumber test

i whant to test that i have a homepage and that it says Welcome on it.

i am using Cucumber to make this happen

File:features/public_pages.feature

Feature: Public pages   Scenario Outline: Visit public pages     When I go to <Page>     Then i should see "<Page Title>"     Examples: List of pages and there titles       > Page | Page Title |       > Home Page | Welcome |       > About Page | About |       > Contact Page | Contact |

step_definitions When /^I go to Home Page$/ do   visit root   #pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had end

Then /^i should see "(.*?)"$/ do |text|   page.should have_content(text) end

i have the text on the hope page but it still shows up as a error

I’d suggest you post the error itself. From what I can see it could be that you need to edit the step definition from “visit root” to “visit root_path”.
