rake cucumber aborts after successfull feature scenarios

Hi

rake cucumber:wip aborts with error messages after successfully running feature scenarios.

Platform: Windows XP

Ruby version: ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32]

Relevant gems in bundle:

  • bundler (1.0.7)

  • cucumber (0.10.0)

  • cucumber-rails (0.3.2)

  • gherkin (2.3.3)

  • rails (3.0.0)

  • rake (0.8.7)

  • rspec (2.3.0)

  • rspec-core (2.3.1)

  • rspec-expectations (2.3.0)

  • rspec-mocks (2.3.0)

  • rspec-rails (2.3.1)

Command-line output: (Example taken from “The RSpec Book”)

D:\work@home\workspace\showtime>rake cucumber:wip (in D:/work@home/workspace/showtime) bundle exec C:/Ruby192/bin/ruby.exe -I “C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-0.10.0/lib;lib” “C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/cucumber-0.10.0/bin/cucumber” --profile wip

*** WARNING: You must use ANSICON 1.31 or higher (http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon) to get coloured output on Windows Using the wip profile… Feature: Showtime Descriptions

So that I can find movies that fit my schedule As a movie goer I want to see accurate and concise showtimes

@wip Scenario: Show minutes for times not ending with 00 # features\showtime_descriptions.feature:8

Given a movie                                                       # features/step_definitions/showtime_steps.rb:1
When I set the showtime to "2007-10-10" at "2:15pm"                 # features/step_definitions/showtime_steps.rb:5

Then the showtime description should be "October 10, 2007 (2:15pm)" # features/step_definitions/showtime_steps.rb:10

1 scenario (1 passed) 3 steps (3 passed) 0m3.484s

The --wip switch was used, so I didn’t expect anything to pass. These scenarios passed:

I did google this issue, and I found this:

https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211/tickets/680-rake-cucumber-throws-an-error-after-running-all-the-scenarios

A.H. states in this Lighthouse issue that the --strict option causes cucumber to exit with a non-zero exit status if one has pending or undefined steps.

In my example, I don’t have pending or undefined steps, but it still reports rake aborted…

Any ideas?

Kind regards, Rolf

Could the backslash be an issue here?

Colin

How so, Colin? I guess the use of backslash is just the way Cucumber reports for the feature, since I’m using Windows…

I don't know (I was just pointing out the possible issue). I noticed that the failure is in the area of this line and it is the only one showing the backslash hence wondered whether it might be a factor.

Colin

Ok - thanks, Colin

But it looks to me like Cucumber finishes nicely by reporting the successful scenarios (in this case only one): (::slight_smile: passed scenarios (::slight_smile:

features\showtime_descriptions.feature:8:in `Scenario: Show minutes for times not ending with 00’

But there is something going on after it completes…

This might be interesting - Ruby 1.9.1 on Windows with Rails, MS SQL Server and Cucumber - Lovor blog - about half way down where it talks about backslash and SET CUCUMBER_FORWARD_SLASH_PATHS
