Meta question: is this the right/best place to ask for assistance with Cucumber or am I in the wrong place? Anyway, here goes. I just started using cucumber and it''s very impressive! Check out this fragment: And I go to the home page Then I should see "Choose Your Jurisdiction:" within "h2" And I follow "Middlesex" Then I should see "Middlesex" within "#user-navigation" My problem is that it''s failing on the 4th step. And it looks like the "click" on the link "middlesex" didn''t have the expected effect. In other words, when used interactively I see what I expect to see in user-navigation. So my question is about debugging this problem. What I need to know is: - is the "And I follow "Middlesex" step actually clicking on what I think it is? - is that click working or doing what it should do? - what page is being examined by the "Then I should see "Middlesex" within "#user-navigation" step? These are all debugging questions, right, if I could see those I could figure out what was going wrong. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Cucumber has it''s own list: http://groups.google.com/group/cukes Feel free to ask us your rspec questions here, though :) Cheers, David On May 25, 2010, at 12:50 PM, Pito Salas wrote:> Meta question: is this the right/best place to ask for assistance with > Cucumber or am I in the wrong place? > > Anyway, here goes.

Make sure you have the ruby-debug gem installed. In cucumber you can put a ''debugger'' statement in any step definition.
