Installing Cucumber (and RSpec)
Cucumber is packaged as a gem and can be installed by running gem install cucumber. However, most of the examples in this book assume you install it via Bundler, which means having a Gemfile in the root directory of your project. Most of the examples also assume you’ll use RSpec,[77] so you’ll need that in your Gemfile too:
| installation/Gemfile | |
| | source :rubygems |
| | |
| | group :test do |
| | gem 'cucumber', '1.2.1' |
| | gem 'rspec-expectations', '2.11.2' |
| | end |
Cucumber will then install with the following command:
| | $ bundle install |
To verify that you have installed it properly, run cucumber --help.
