Maybe I’m missing something but it seems to me the easiest is to hit Command-R from textmate (if you have the cucumber bundle). I guess this requires you to be in the feature file though…

Pasting and hitting return? Drag & drop FTW!

Nice tip. Simple. Love it.

Alias are good but you still need to type features/foo.feature

I used this function that I called cu in zsh

cucumber features/$1.feature:$2

in order to run the line 6 of the foo feature I just write

cu foo 6

In Windows

>assoc .feature=CucumberFile
.feature=CucumberFile

>ftype CucumberFile=C:\ruby\bin\cucumber.bat %1
CucumberFile=C:\ruby\bin\cucumber.bat %1

>features\users_crud.feature

I did something similar using Fish Shell. I’ve whipped up a blog post explaining it for anyone who uses Fish. Instead of making each feature file executable, it does the equivalent of Ruby’s “method_missing” — if a command given to fish isn’t runnable it’ll call a special script (which you write) which can then decide what to do.

Here’s the blog post: http://bjeanes.com/2009/10/07/using-fish-shells-event-system-to-behave-like-method-missing

with zsh: alias -s feature=”cucumber”

Very nifty!

I’ve been using another approach (as I was keen to keep the feature files pure). I created a formatter which extends the pretty formatter but in the comment line it outputs:

Scenario: We like cukes #c features/blah.feature:20

Where c is aliased to cucumber.

No no no, I love pasting and hitting return. Oh I love it so.

Danger is one of my middle names. Another middle name is “um, that looks unnecessary”.

Yes, the ‘c’ alias might be better.
