If one invokes a Ruby script from a cucumber step definition and that script contains "puts" statements then where does the output go? I have a script that when run from the command line displays "puts" output in the terminal session, but when run from a cucumber step definition produces no console output. It does however produce the expected output file in either case. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

If you want to see that ouput you could add a puts.. for example: puts `some_command` If you are testing a CLI tool you may want to look how Cucumber''s and RSpec''s features capture and use the STDOUT and STDERR. http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/blob/0e9f6066bbed0e0b73f4af0a18f186a7e13fea46/features/support/env.rb -Ben
