Debugging Cucumber in RubyMine {Quick Hit}
Posted on May 9, 2011
Using Cucumber and Rspec for the first time has been … a little frustrating. I followed along with the main tutorial in The Rspec Book and then skimmed the later chapters. I thought it was quite good until I had to start testing an actual rails app and felt a little at a loss. But I digress …
After a few attempts at debugging in and outside of RubyMine, I finally googled and came across this post on configuring cucumber in RubyMine and this post on debugging Rspec in RubyMine. Taking those as a starting point, I finally got things working. Here’s how:
First, create a debug scenario in RubyMine by right-clicking on your features file and select “Create ‘[file_name]’ …”
Then remove “ruby-debug19” (and any other ruby-debug) gems from your Gemfile.
Also, remove any “require ‘ruby-debugs'”s.
Then select the feature in the run drop down.
Click on Debug!
Wham, bam, thank you ma’am.
