Install Cucumber with Rspec, Guard and Spork

Using during Hartl rails 4.0 guide (http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters)

Gems

group :development, :test
  gem 'guard-rspec'
  gem 'guard-livereload'
  gem 'spork-rails', github: 'sporkrb/spork-rails' # RubyGems.org nog uptodate
  gem 'guard-spork'
  gem 'childprocess'
end

group :test do
  gem 'selenium-webdriver', '2.0.0'
  gem 'capybara', '2.1.0'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
  gem 'cucumber', '1.2.5' # Spork not supported as of Cucumber 1.3.0, need to use 1.2.5
  gem 'cucumber-rails', :require => false
  gem 'database_cleaner'
end

Install instruction

$ bundle install

$ rails generate rspec:install
$ bundle guard init rspec

Edit guard file, change to: (/Guardfile)

guard 'rspec', after_all_pass: false, cli: '--drb' do

$ bundle spork --bootstrap

Edit spec file, to set up spork: (/spec/spec_helper.rb)

    Spork.prefork do
      ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
      require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
      require 'rspec/rails'
      require 'rspec/autorun'
      .
      .
      .
      RSpec.configure do |config|
      .
      .
      .
      end
    end

$ bundle guard init spork

Now you can start guard with spork (but don't do it, Cucumber is still to go)

$ bundle guard

Install Cucumber

$ rails generate cucumber:install --spork

Done!

Run test with cucumber

$ bundle cucumber
