This little gem will help you to initialize a cucumber environment for a sinatra application. It will generate the required files from templates.

For now it's generating an env.rb that is using rspec and capybara. More options might be added later.

It's available as a gem that can be installed with the following command.

    gem install cucumber-sinatra

To use the generated templates without any modification, you'll have to install the rspec (v2) and capybara (at least v1.0.0) gems as well.

To initialize the cucumber environment, just execute cucumber-sinatra like this:

    # cucumber-sinatra init MyApp lib/my_app.rb
         [ADDED]  features/support/env.rb
         [ADDED]  features/support/paths.rb
         [ADDED]  features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb
    #

• The first argument is the class name of your application.
• The second argument is the path to the application file that should be required.

Using the --app option with init will also generate the given application file and a working config.ru.

    # cucumber-sinatra init --app MyApp lib/my_app.rb
         [ADDED]  features/support/env.rb
         [ADDED]  features/support/paths.rb
         [ADDED]  features/step_definitions/web_steps.rb
         [ADDED]  lib/my_app.rb
         [ADDED]  config.ru
    #
