Take a look at the --exclude option for rcov - that''s what you need to
do. Otherwise by default it will tell you about coverage for every
ruby file that was touched during the test run, including things that
the testing framework called, and the things they called, etc.
I would have assumed this was in the default rake task that was
generated, but anyway you should be able to figure it out if you look
at rcov''s options.
Running rcov yourself really isn''t such a black art - from the command
line you can get coverage from a single feature using this:
rcov --exclude ''gems/*.rb'' /usr/local/bin/cucumber --
path/to/
the.feature
