rspec users - Apr 2009 - [cucumber, jruby] Same steps are being added multiple times?

Hi all,

I''m not quite sure I understand how env.rb is loaded in the
cucumber/jruby
world.  I have
a directory structure like this:

stories/fulfillment_status_tracking
stories/fulfillment_status_tracking/main_success.feature
stories/fulfillment_status_tracking/test.feature
stories/regular_billme_single_title_subscription
stories/regular_billme_single_title_subscription/form_validation.feature
stories/regular_billme_single_title_subscription/main_success.feature
stories/support
stories/support/env.rb


My env.rb file simply loads my Java step class and adds it, here''s what
it
looks like:

----------- env.rb -----------

require ''cucumber/java''
import
''com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.cucumber.NavigationSteps''

register_steps(NavigationSteps)
SeleniumController.markStepsLoaded()

-----------

but when I run my tests with:  jruby -S cucumber -r stories/support/env.rb

I am getting Ambiguous match of my steps - but I only have a single class of
steps, NavigationSteps.

any ideas what''s going on?

You have two (or more) step matchers that match a single clause in a 
scenario.  The error message usually tells you exactly which steps in 
which files collide, for the MRI anyway

I understand how this happens when I *really do* have ambiguous steps, but
in my simple case, I don''t.  I only have a single class which contains
steps
(attached below).  I can run a single scenario just fin, but when I try to
run multiple scenarios in one run, I get Ambiguous step errors.  It''s
like
the steps are getting added again before each scenario runs - I''ve got
to be
missing something really basic here.

thanks in advance,  John

PS:  Here''s the one, and only one, step class that I''m using
(implementation
removed for shortness):

package com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.cucumber;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.KickOffFulfillment;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.domain.FulfillmentTransaction;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.domain.Order;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.domain.PersistenceService;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.StoryTestProperties;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.checkers.OrderChecker;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.selenium.Page;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.selenium.ReceiptPage;
import com.timeinc.ecommerce.storytests.selenium.SeleniumController;

import cucumber.Given;
import cucumber.Table;
import cucumber.Then;
import cucumber.When;

public class NavigationSteps {

  @Given("the microsite with")
  public void givenTheMicrosite(Table table) {
  }

  @When("I navigate to the microsite")
  public void whenTheUserNavigatesToTheMicrosite() {
  }

  @When("I submit the form with")
  }

  @Then("I see a receipt page")
  public void theUserIsPresentedWithAReceiptPage() {
  }

  @Then("a new order is created with")
  public void aNewOrderIsCreatedWith(Table table) {
  }

  @Then("the following error messages are displayed")
  public void theFollowingErrorsShouldBeDisplayed(Table table) {
    Page.ensureErrorsAreDisplayed(selenium, table);
  }

  @When("fulfillment runs")
  public void fulfillmentRuns() throws Exception {
  }

  @Given("an order exists in the system")
  public void anOrderExistsInTheSystem() {
  }

  @When("the user navigates to the status tracking page for the
order")
  public void navigatesToStatusTrackingPage() {
  }

  @Then("the transaction is displayed as succeeded")
  public void theTransactionIsDisplayedAsSucceeded() {
  }

}

I am also having the same issue with cucumber-java.

please refer - http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/184342#new

With cucumber-java , it seems that we would be able to run only one 
feature file and one scenario in that file.

Is there any way by which we can execute multiple feature files that 
will invoke seperate scenarios?

Thanks,
Neema

Sounds like a bug then.
